Pozycjonowanie w marketingu. Wykorzystanie anamorfozy w pozycjonowaniu
Authors: Dworak Janusz
Published: September 2024

Decyzje gospodarcze i społeczne mają racjonalne uwarunkowania wówczas, gdy oparte są na logicznych przesłankach. W dobie powszechnego dostępu do informacji, badań naukowych, raportów i danych statystycznych coraz więcej decyzji podejmowanych jest w oparciu o zestawienia wskaźników i mierników. Można się nimi posłużyć w ocenie firmy na dany moment oraz ukazać dynamikę zmian zachodzącą w czasie. Porównywanie wyników badań ilościowych dla różnych zjawisk pozwala na określenie pozycji interesującego nas obiektu w otoczeniu, czyli określenie jego kontekstu. Jest to możliwe dzięki ustaleniu jego dystansu względem wartości maksymalnej, minimalnej, średniej czy też wartości normatywnej. Dzięki uszeregowaniu wyników pomiarów dla grupy obiektów otrzymujemy szereg informacji na temat relacji między nimi. Umożliwia to także skonstruowanie modelu badanego zjawiska, czyli stworzenia dlań wzorca.

Authors: Sienkiewicz Joanna
Published: September 2024

Artykuł poświęcono analizie marketingowej strategii turystyki Polski do 2015 roku, w odniesieniu do sektora turystyki uzdrowiskowej. Punktem wyjścia porównań zamierzeń Centrum stały się: stanowisko Unii Europejskiej w dziedzinie nowej polityki turystycznej, postulaty środowiska związanego z lecznictwem uzdrowiskowym, regionalna strategia rozwoju turystyki Województwa Zachodniopomorskiego. Bazując na koncepcjach strategii marketingowej wykazano dychotomię między oceną centrum perspektyw rozwoju turystyki zdrowotnej w Polsce a dążeniami przedsiębiorstw i ich najbliższego otoczenia – regionów, wyrażającej się w tym, iż ocenianą przez Autorów marketingowej strategii turystyka zdrowotna jako nie mająca perspektyw rozwojowych jest uznawana przez regiony za produkt strategiczny i markowy, rokujący szanse stabilnego rozwoju. Rozważania uszczegółowiono pokazując na przykładzie Uzdrowiska Kołobrzeg S.A. instrumenty oddziaływania marketingowego na aktualnego i potencjalnego klienta, których celem jest sprzedaż nowych produktów oraz zróżnicowanie przychodów – zabiegi o pozyskanie klienta komercyjnego
Marketing religijny na przykładzie chrześcijaństwa
Authors: Dmowski Łukasz
Published: September 2024

Współczesna cywilizacja przynosi dynamiczny postęp techniczny, technologiczny i informacyjny. Komunikacja między Kościołem a otoczeniem zaczyna przybierać niespotykane dotychczas formy. Posługiwanie się wyłącznie tradycyjnymi formami przekazu ewangelii jak żywe słowo, obrzędy czy sztuka może okazać się niewystarczające. XXI wiek wymaga aby orędzie chrześcijańskie było głoszone współczesnemu człowiekowi również za pomocą nowych metod, w sposób czytelny i interesujący. W niniejszej pracy przedstawiono możliwości, jakie stwarzają dla Kościołów chrześcijańskich nowoczesne formy komunikacji z otoczeniem. Zwrócono uwagę, iż odpowiednio dobrane działania marketingowe mogą służyć głoszeniu wartości moralnych i religijnych społeczeństwom. Ukazano przykłady, które potwierdziły, że korzystanie z narzędzi i technik marketingowych może być dla wspólnoty Kościoła bardzo pomocne w szerzeniu ewangelii. Jednocześnie podkreślono, iż nieumiejętne posługiwanie się marketingiem może przynieść całej wspólnocie Kościoła wiele szkód.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System Implementations and Corporate Misconduct
Authors: Heese Jonas , Pacelli Joseph
Published: September 2024

This study examines whether enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations are associated with reductions in corporate misconduct. Specifically, we study the relation between staggered facility-level rollouts of ERP systems and facility-level regulatory violations across a large sample of U.S. firms. Our results indicate that facility-level ERP adoptions are associated with substantial reductions in local violations and penalties. Additional analyses suggest that the effects are more pronounced among facilities incorporating advanced analytics into their systems and among workforces that are less resistant to technology change. Overall, our results suggest that ERP systems generate indirect effects that enhance compliance outcomes across a wide range of violations.

OBJECTIVE

Diabetes affects 537 million people globally, with 34% expected to develop foot ulceration in their lifetime. Diabetes-related foot ulceration causes strain on health care systems worldwide, necessitating provision of high-quality evidence to guide their management. Given heterogeneity of reported outcomes, a core outcome set (COS) was developed to standardize outcome measures in studies assessing treatments for diabetes-related foot ulceration.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

The COS was developed using Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) methodology. A systematic review and patient interviews generated a long list of outcomes that were rated by patients and experts using a nine-point Likert scale (from 1 [not important] to 9 [critical]) in the first round of the Delphi survey. Based on predefined criteria, outcomes without consensus were reprioritized in a second Delphi round. Critical outcomes and those without consensus after two Delphi rounds were discussed in the consensus meeting where the COS was ratified.

RESULTS

The systematic review and patient interviews generated 103 candidate outcomes. The two consecutive Delphi rounds were completed by 336 and 176 respondents, resulting in an overall second round response rate of 52%. Of 37 outcomes discussed in the consensus meeting (22 critical and 15 without consensus after the second round), 8 formed the COS: wound healing, time to healing, new/recurrent ulceration, infection, major amputation, minor amputation, health-related quality of life, and mortality.

CONCLUSIONS

The proposed COS for studies assessing treatments for diabetes-related foot ulceration was developed using COMET methodology. Its adoption by the research community will facilitate assessment of comparative effectiveness of current and evolving interventions.
internet, a democracia e a captura das paixões
Authors: Theuer Daniela
Published: September 2024

Por que e de que forma as redes digitais de comunicação e informação tiveram, além de seus aspectos informativos e de conexão, um forte efeito de polarização social e impacto negativo sobre a democracia? Este é um tema complexo e multifacetado. O presente artigo discute como as práticas adotadas pelas grandes corporações digitais contribuíram com a ascensão e amplificação de movimentos autoritários. Diversos fatores levam a este fenômeno, incluindo 1) a estrutura capilarizada da internet, que levou a uma fragmentação da base informacional; 2) a lógica econômica extrativista da nova economia digital com seus algoritmos que buscam maximização de lucro, direcionando os usuários a conteúdos conspiracionistas, recompensando engajamento de qualquer teor e aglomerando pessoas e grupos originalmente distintos; e 3) técnicas viciantes. Por conta das recompensas a conteúdos estridentes e polarizadores e a exploração dos afetos na rede, o resultado parece inevitável. Isto não significa que a trajetória não possa ser alterada.

Published: September 2024

The rapid development of the times and community development has caused an increase in population, but this increase in population was not in line with the availability of land. Land has a very high economic value so that it is everyone's obligation to maintain and retain its existence as an object of economic value. One type of land right is Cultivation Rights, which is the right to manage a piece of land given by the state to a business entity or individual in order to increase productivity and community welfare. This research is normative juridical research with the nature of descriptive research analysis, the data obtained is then analyzed with qualitative juridical methods. The abolition of Cultivation Rights resulted in the status of land becoming state land, so that the state reorganized its use, usage, and ownership through the Minister. If the Cultivation Rights period has expired and more than 2 (two) years the party granted by Cultivation Rights does not carry out the rights renewal process and does not cultivate and utilize the land granted, it cannot have priority rights. On the contrary, people who use land that is not cultivated or used by former rights holders, are entitled to priority rights as proposed by Ter Haar. However, the community still needs to apply for rights through the local Land Office.

Published: September 2024

This study aimed to extend our previous research, to collect more bulk tank milk samples from the Central and Eastern European region. Samples were collected between January 2020 and August 2023 from 126 dairy herds from four Central and Eastern European countries (Hungary, n=87; Czechia, n=24; Slovakia, n=10 and Croatia n=5). A positive correlation was found between herd size and the percentage of C. burnetii positive results (with PCR and/or ELISA tests) from bulk tank milk in dairy herds. On the basis of our results we can conclude that the growing number of farms managing a high number of dairy cows, with high stocking density, correlates with the increasing prevalence of C. burnetii in the region.

Published: September 2024

The Indonesian government is currently carrying out massive infrastructure development, with a budget exceeding 10. Risk mapping based on good risk management is crucial for stakeholders in organizing construction projects. Projects financed by government, whether solicited or unsolicited schemes, should also include risk mapping to add value and foster partnerships. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a risk management model for solicited and unsolicited projects, focusing on the collaborative management system among stakeholders in government-financed projects. Risk review was conducted from various stakeholders’ perspectives, examining the impacts and potential losses to manage uncertainty and reduce losses for relevant parties. Furthermore, qualitative analysis was conducted using Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and in-depth interviews. The results showed that partnering-based risk management with risk sharing in solicited and unsolicited projects had similarities with Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). This approach provided benefits and value by developing various innovations in the project life cycle.
The impact of technological innovations on economic complexity in South Africa
Authors: Sithole Someleze , Ncanywa Thobeka , Dubihlela Dorah
Published: September 2024

Technological innovation allows nations to produce sophisticated products more efficiently and at higher quality to increase exports. Countries that aim to produce and export sophisticated products can improve their economic complexity and lead to the country’s economic development. Hence, the study investigates the impact of technological innovation on economic complexity in South Africa. Technological innovation, exports, and manufactured products were used as variables to examine South Africa’s economic complexity index. The study employed the ARDL method to determine the relationship among the variables. The ARDL F-bounds test reflected the long-run cointegration among the selected variables. The study produced long-run positive estimates of technological innovation, exports, and manufactured products on economic complexity, however, manufactured products and exports were insignificant. Granger causality indicated unidirectional causality on economic complexity to manufactured products, exports to technological innovation, and a bi-directional causal effect from exports to economic complexity and technological innovation to economic complexity. The study recommends that South Africa focus on innovation, create more diversified and sophisticated products and processes, and promote more manufacturing firms, particularly Agri-processed products.
The challenges for the rule of law in the state of emergency and the case of Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Dang Minh Tuan , Hoang Thi Ai Quynh
Published: September 2024

A state of emergency allows authorities to exercise special powers, including the temporary suspension of regular legal provisions and human rights standards. This scenario engenders a conflict between extraordinary powers and the foundational principles of the rule of law. This paper investigates one of the most contentious legal dilemmas concerning emergency powers: whether these powers must be exercised within the bounds of legal constraints. This paper also explores whether ordinary principles of legality apply in situations involving emergency powers. This study aims to examine how this tension is approached from different perspectives. It focuses on discussing the challenges for the rule of law in the state of emergency. It also studies Vietnam’s approach to addressing these challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Infrastructure-driven growth of a coastal tourist city: A case study of Pattaya, Thailand
Authors: Hansasooksin Suwadee T. , Tontisirin Nij , Anantsuksomsri Sutee
Published: September 2024

Pattaya City is a well-known tourist destination in Thailand, famous for its beautiful beachfront, lively nightlife, and stunning natural scenery. Since 2019, the Eastern Special Development Zone Act, the so-called EEC (Eastern Economic Corridor), has positioned the city as a focal point for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE), boosting its tourism-driven economy. Infrastructure improvements in the region have accelerated urban development over the past decade. However, it is uncertain whether this growth primarily comes from development within existing areas or the expansion of urban boundaries and what direction future growth may take. To investigate this, research using the Cellular Automata-Markov model has been conducted to analyze land use changes and urban growth patterns in Pattaya, using land use data from the Department of Land for 2013 and 2017. The findings suggest an upcoming city expansion along the motorway, indicating that infrastructure improvements could drive rapid urbanization in coastal areas. This urban expansion emphasizes the need for urban management and strategic land use planning in coastal cities.

Published: September 2024

Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) infection causes a multifocal demyelinating progressive disease within the central nervous system (CNS) that results in wide range of neurological symptoms. Pathological changes in the brain or CNS could be observed by analyzing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the concentrations of amino acids in the CSF of dogs with neurological form of CDV infection, and to identify amino acids as markers that can be used in the diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of the disease. Heathy dogs (n=6), confirmed by clinical and laboratory examinations (Healthy group), and CDV-infected dogs (n=10) with neurological symptoms, confirmed by clinical, laboratory, and rapid diagnostic test kits (Distemper group), were used. CSF samples were obtained with an appropriate method and were subjected to 1H-NMR analysis. Identification was made on 10, whereas quantification on 8 amino acids. L-tyrosine, L-phenylalanine, L-threonine, and L-alanine concentrations were significantly lower, while L-histidine and L-tryptophan were significantly higher than the Healthy group (p<0.05). It was concluded that L-tyrosine could be used for assessing mental status changes, L-phenylalanine for evaluating neuroprotective responses, L-threonine and L-histidine for gauging the extent of neurodegeneration and ventricular degeneration, L-alanine for exploring cellular stress and energy metabolism, and L-tryptophan for understanding the process of sympathetic nervous system activation.

This study analyzes the influence of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and Company Size on company performance. A quantitative method utilized annual report data from companies listed on the Corporate Governance Perception Index (CGPI) from 2016 to 2019. The population comprised 44 companies listed on the CGPI and the Indonesia Stock Exchange, with a sample of 15 companies selected using purposive sampling. The study covered four years (2016-2019), resulting in 60 company data sets being processed and analyzed. Company performance was measured using Tobin's Q value, while GCG was assessed based on scores from the CGPI. CSR disclosure followed the Global Reporting Initiative's (GRI) requirements, with 78 items listed in GRI G4, and company size was proxied by total assets. Multiple linear regression was used for data analysis. The results indicated that GCG, CSR, and company size significantly influence company performance. Larger companies that adhere to governance practices and fulfill social responsibilities are more likely to produce proper annual reports, enhancing public trust. In the long term, such trust from investors and stakeholders can enhance company performance.

Implementation of Article 66 UUJN Related to Suits Against Notaries Without the Approval of the Honorary Council of Notaries (MKN)
Authors: Pulungan* Adnin , Suhaidi Suhaidi , Azwar T. Keizerina Dewi
Published: September 2024

Article 66 of the UUJN mandates prior approval from the Notary Honorary Council (Majelis Kehormatan Notaris, MKN) for lawsuits against notaries in Indonesia, aiming to protect their professional independence. This study examines the effectiveness, challenges, comparative insights, and reform recommendations regarding Article 66. Effectiveness analysis reveals that while the provision shields notaries from frivolous litigation, it impedes access to justice due to procedural complexities and delays. Transparency issues in MKN decision-making and perceived biases further complicate its implementation. Comparative insights from France, Germany, and the United States highlight best practices such as independent oversight mechanisms and transparent criteria, suggesting reforms to enhance accountability and fairness. Recommendations include establishing clear, public criteria for MKN approvals, setting procedural timelines, and introducing independent review mechanisms to address bias concerns. These reforms aim to maintain notarial integrity while ensuring equitable access to justice. Thus, while Article 66 serves to safeguard notarial functions, addressing its challenges through strategic reforms can foster public trust and strengthen Indonesia's legal framework.

Analysing the Drivers of Elite Interest in Hybrid Entrepreneurship in West Africa
Authors: Kingsley Anfom  , Samuel Ebi Yamike Brew
Published: September 2024

Hybrid Entrepreneurship (HE) is growing in developing and developed countries due to the failure of start-ups. The article investigates the current surge of interest in hybrid entrepreneurship in five Anglophone West African countries by examining the effects of entrepreneurial intention, entrepreneur self-efficacy, job insecurity, and job satisfaction on hybrid entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector using quantitative techniques for data collection and analysis. Data validation was done using a structural equation model, while a linear hierarchical regression model was used to check relationships between the constructs. The results show that entrepreneurial intention, entrepreneur self-efficacy, and job satisfaction positively affect hybrid entrepreneurship. Though job insecurity positively affects hybrid entrepreneurship, its effects are statistically insignificant. The results also show that job satisfaction, job insecurity, and entrepreneur self-efficacy positively influence the entrepreneurial intentions of hybrid entrepreneurs. The researchers recommend that the ministries, agencies and authorities in these countries should help change the perception of agriculture as an occupation for the less educated and illiterate and make it attractive to the elite by helping them acquire current technologies and agro-equipment.
Challenges Facing Teenagers in Secondary Schools and Proffered Solutions
Authors: Ejuchegahi A. Angwaomaodoko
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the multifaceted challenges faced by teenagers in New Jersey's high school system and proposes comprehensive solutions to address these issues. The study highlights the stark contrast within New Jersey's educational landscape, where predominantly white populations enjoy a high-quality education in top public schools, while students of color, immigrants, and those from low-income backgrounds endure a significantly deteriorated school system. Among the myriad challenges confronting secondary school students are violence, sexual assault, poverty, and social anxiety. Strangely enough, the high use and rate of drug addiction among teenagers highly impair their cognitive and social adjustment. To do away with these problems, the paper proposes that social workers be incorporated into school settings. Social workers will identify and work with students in need of support facing various kinds of difficulty, thus promoting a safer and more supportive school climate. It, therefore, advocates for more tightened regulation in the use of social sites among teenagers and the use of drugs and alcohol by the government and institutions of learning. This would not only make students keen on developmental activities, both at school and outside school, but would also lead to adherence to other school rules and regulations, respectively. By leveraging the support of parents, schools, communities, and government agencies, the proposed solutions aim to create a more equitable and conducive educational experience for all teenagers in New Jersey. This approach underscores the need for a holistic effort to address the systemic disparities and enhance the overall well-being and academic success of secondary school students.
Globalization of Knowledge Economy: Implications for Africa’s Economic Development

Published: September 2024

Communities and nation-states of the world have become increasingly interdependent in the last three decades. Encumbrances to trade, investment, and migration and the numerous barriers to socio-cultural and economic cooperation among states are being steadily dismantled. These rapid global changes are traceable to globalization, a process whose driving force revolves around technology, policy, competition and knowledge. Some of the most significant outcomes of these dynamics are the subordination of the domestic economy to global market conditions, the diminishing relevance of the capital, the industrial and the resource economy model and the overriding transformative capacity of the emergent knowledge economy for the economies of states that embraced it. This study derives its data from secondary sources, particularly textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, special reports and internet materials. Data were analyzed and treated qualitatively using content analysis. The study adopts the post-industrial theory to argue that countries that invest significantly in knowledge, information and services will reap stronger economies than those that rely on manufacturing and resource activities. The study concludes that such is the dilemma Africa faces in a globalizing world. It recommends, among others, that African states require a shift in leadership and citizenry perception of knowledge to become key players and partakers in the global knowledge economy.

Authors: Dr. Ayobolu, Y.O
Published: September 2024

This study examined how radio helps in health advocacy in rural communities. A popular health programme, "Ilera Wa," on Agidigbo FM, a private radio station located in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria, was adopted as the case study. The research is anchored on the Diffusion of Innovation and Development Theories, while the Focus Group Discussion (FGD), a subset of the qualitative method, was utilized in gathering data from twenty randomly selected respondents. The data for this research were gathered through the analysis of the audio and tape recordings, notes and participant observation derived from answers provided in the interview guide for the discussion. Findings reveal that the respondents were ardent listeners of the programme as it serves as a "broadcast hospital" for them by addressing their various health needs while also teaching and encouraging healthy behavioral lifestyle. The study recommends more of this kind of broadcast initiative globally, especially in rural communities.

This work assesses the impact of the Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund (ACGSF) on livestock production in Nigeria from 1987 to 2021. Time series data were gathered from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and from the World Bank. The Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method of analysis model was used to analyse data, while the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test and the Philip and Peron tests were used to ascertain the stationarity of data. The breakpoint unit root test was carried out in order to ascertain the order of integration. The result of the ARDL test reveals the f-statistic to be 7.10424. This is higher than the upper critical bonds at a 1 percent level of significance and confirms that there is a long-run relationship between the variables. Also, results show that the ACGSF credit to livestock had a positive and significant relationship with the GDP for the livestock subsector. Thus, a unit increase in ACGSF loan to the livestock subsector will lead to a 20% (0.20167) increase in GDP for the livestock sub-sector. Findings also show that the inflation rate has a negative relationship with GDP for the livestock sub-sector, with a coefficient value of -0.06218%. The R2 is 0.82622, implying that 82% of variations in the model are explained by the explanatory variables. The study affirms that an increase in government investment in livestock production will propel and increase the sub-sector's capacity to earn more Gross Domestic Product.
The Japa Syndrome of Human Capital And Its Socio-economic Implications on Nigerians
Authors: Dr. Agbaje Yinusa Toyese  , Dr. Olubodun, Idowu Emmanuel  , Idowu, Taiwo Deborah
Published: September 2024

This study investigates Japa Syndrome of human capital and its subsequent socio-economic implications on Nigerians. The study utilized a descriptive research design, utilizing primary data sources through one-to-one interviews and focus group methods, with a total of 10 participants. The findings revealed that the predominant motive for individuals migrating is educational pursuit, but contrary to expectations, this fervent engagement does not yield the anticipated financial benefits. The resulting vacuum in the emigrants’ previous employment places strains on the remaining employees, disrupting work-life balance. The study dispels the misconception that foreign lands offer abundant opportunities, highlighting the intense competition faced by migrants. Tragically, parents who guarantee loan sources for their emigrant children may pass away with outstanding loans, as reaching the absent offspring becomes a challenge. Additionally, married individuals seeking a better standard of living abroad inadvertently contribute to socio-economic crises, placing the responsibility of raising children solely on one parent. The study recommends restricting frenzied migration to youths without existing job commitments, unmarried status, and robust family support. The risks associated with current exploitative trends outweigh the benefits, emphasizing the need for careful consideration and genuine professional invitations before embarking on such journeys.

Work satisfaction plays a vital role in entire commitment, which directly impacts productivity within the working environment. Teachers' satisfaction, thus, has a significant influence on their work relations with teachers who are satisfied feeling committed to their assigned roles at school. The main aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between the involvement of teachers in decision-making and teachers' job satisfaction in public secondary schools in Mandera North Sub-County, Mandera County. The study was anchored on Herzberg's theory and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theories. The study adopted a mixed methods methodology where both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed. Public secondary schools formed the unit of sampling for the study, and three schools were selected from a total of 9 public secondary schools in Mandera North Sub-County. Out of the target population of 104 teachers, 31 teachers were selected to serve as respondents. The Sub-County Director of Education (SCDE) in Mandera North Sub-County was selected purposively. The study found that most of the teachers were highly involved in decision-making (61.3%), 25.8% of teachers were moderately involved in decision-making, and 12.9% of teachers were poorly involved in decision-making. The mean score for involvement in decision-making was M=2.7152 and SD= 0.6937. Regression analysis was also conducted to determine the association between the variables. The findings show a significant positive relationship between teachers' involvement in decision-making and teachers' job satisfaction (P<0.05). The study concludes that involvement in decision-making improves satisfaction because it increases a sense of belonging when teachers are granted the opportunity to participate in crucial decision-making aspects within their educational institutions. These findings recommend that principals promote teachers' involvement in decision-making activities in school, such as workload planning, financial management, conflict resolution, and academic and co-curricular activities. Creating an environment where teachers feel valued and included in decision-making processes enhances their sense of belonging and increases job satisfaction.
