This study is to investigate the inconclusiveness of product innovation on market performance in the context of Indonesian furniture company association’s members (HIMKI). We refer to Resource Advantage Theory of Competition to develop an integrated model using proactive and reactive innovations as independent variables while product and organizational innovations as mediating variables. The population of this research is 227 furniture companies with the minimum revenue of over IDR 5 billion per year and remains in business for the last of five consecutive years. We use simple random sampling techniques and 143 companies were selected as respondent then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. The result finds that product innovations directly and indirectly effect significantly by proactive and reactive innovations on market performance. Surprisingly, organizational innovation does not effect significantly on market performance neither as its mediating variable of proactive innovation. The originality of this study is that, this integrated model proves the direct and indirect effect of proactive and reactive innovation on product innovation and market performance significantly positive. This study has successfully identified adoption level of innovation that makes organizational innovation has no effect on market performance.

Published: January 2024

In order to accelerate the development of the tourism sector, the Indonesian government has designated five tourist destinations in Indonesia as super priority tourist destinations, one of which is East Likupang of North Minahasa Regency in North Sulawesi Province. Paal Beach is one of the main tourist attractions in East Likupang. Even though the beach is very beautiful and the access to it is very good, the number of visits is still far below it's carrying capacity. This research aims to identify appropriate development strategies for the Paal Beach tourist destination to attract more visitors. The analytical tool used is SWOT analysis. The research results show that various external factors are very supportive for the development of Paal Beach.  However, the beach still has various weaknesses that could make it unattractive for some people to visit.   The main identified weaknesses are related to the lack of adequate infrastuctures and supporting facilities So, the main strategy should be to prioritize improving these infrastuctures and supporting facilities. If infrastuctures and supporting facilities are improved, then this area has great potential to be able to take advantage of the existing external factors identified as opportunities, especially with the designation of East Likupang as one of the super priority tourist destinations in Indonesia.

During drug development, ensuring that drug molecules do not block the hERG (human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene) channel is critical. If this channel is blocked, it can cause many cardiovascular-related diseases. However, traditional experimental detection methods are expensive and time-consuming. In this work, we proposed a novel deep learning framework CLOP-hERG, that combines contrastive learning with the RoBERTa pre-trained model to predict whether drug molecules will block the hERG channel. We employed data augmentation techniques on molecular structures to ensure that our model can capture the multifaceted information of the molecules. Besides, we used a contrastive learning strategy to enable the model to learn meaningful molecular features from large unlabeled datasets. The RoBERTa pre-trained model played a pivotal role in this process, giving our model with a robust representational learning capability. The model, obtained through contrastive learning, was further fine-tuned to achieve high-precision prediction of hERG blockers. Through a series of experiments, we demonstrated the effectiveness of CLOP-hERG. This work provides a novel and effective strategy for predicting hERG blockers and provides some insights for other similar pharmaceutical tasks.
Carcass and meat quality of foals from Burguete and Jaca Navarra breeds raised under sustainable livestock systems in mountain landscapes. Development and innovation of new foal meat products
Authors:   , Cittadini Aurora
Published: January 2024

This doctoral thesis focused on two autochthonous Navarre foal breeds in risk of extinction, Jaca Navarra and Burguete, raised at mountain pasture, and finished following two distinct finishing diets. In particular, firstly, this work aimed to study the effect of the breed, Jaca Navarra (JN) vs. Burguete (BU), and of the finishing diet, conventional concentrate and straw (diet 1 – D1) vs. silage and organic feed (diet 2 - D2), on the growth parameters, carcass characteristics, and meat quality from fortysix foals. Moreover, the other main purpose of this Thesis was to investigate novel approaches focused on lipid or salt reformulation in order to achieve four healthier foal meat products, burger, dry-fermented sausage, pâté, and cecina, without altering their technological and sensory properties. The outcomes obtained in this Thesis contribute significantly to improve the knowledge about the carcass and meat quality of the endangered Navarre foal breeds, especially in case of JN breed. Data indicated the predominance of BU-D1 foals concerning the growth parameters, carcass traits, and meat quality in terms of fat contents, lightness, marbling, tenderness, and juiciness. Nonetheless, the more fibrous D2 stood out as promising alternative to the conventional one, since it allowed a good development of carcass features (though in minor measure), especially in BU foals, as well as, the enhancement of the meat quality, in particular from a nutritional and aromatic standpoint. Moreover, the livestock procedures employed could be related to positive effects at social, economic, and especially at environmental levels, conferring an added-value to the final products. Therefore, the dietetic profile, and green image of this meat combined with the incorporation of the studied potential animal fat or salt replacers in the elaboration of foal derived meat products allowed to obtain final products with enhanced nutritional profiles without excessively altering their technological and sensorial properties in most of the cases, satisfying the modern consumers’ requirements, as well as, the heath recommendations.

Para a leitura proposta, utilizamos uma metodologia de viés etnográfico, baseada na busca por pontos relevantes e na leitura dos significados dos próprios sujeitos, contextualizados histórica e espacialmente. Nesse percurso, passamos por questões territoriais e culturais da Raia, pelo histórico de cooperação transfronteiriça e de encontro de línguas e culturas, bem como por uma sumarização de algumas atividades desenvolvidas na perspectiva do bilinguismo e da interculturalidade. O conjunto de eventos e práticas do PEBIF apontam para uma cultura de valorização da interculturalidade e da diversidade linguística, como sugere o próprio nome do projeto. O uso da metodologia investigação-ação faz emergir reflexões sobre práticas e eventos diversos, em um diálogo produtivo que resulta no reconhecimento e valorização das diversidades linguística e cultural.
Na fronteira entre o encantamento e o estranhamento: Caminhos trilhados no ensino médio integrado ao técnico
Authors: Castanho Eli Gomes , Viviani Fabrícia Carla
Published: January 2024

Este texto é um relato de experiência que apresenta o percurso de professores de Português/Espanhol e de Sociologia, no Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, campus Ponta Porã, especificamente na fronteira do Brasil com o Paraguai. Para isso, são tecidas considerações a respeito da fronteira como espaço de encontro entre culturas e línguas, o que torna, muitas vezes, um espaço de tensão e disseminação de preconceitos. Logo, há a necessidade de uma educação do entorno para a interculturalidade, de modo que a escola seja um espaço para a problematização sobre as diferenças, o que, em complementariedade, fortaleceria também as causas daqueles que estão à margem. Em razão desse posicionamento, são relatadas experiências com atividades de ensino, pesquisa e extensão com vistas a romper com estigmas e ver na diversidade da fronteira uma possibilidade de reflexão e formação de sujeitos posicionados criticamente sobre o entorno que os cerca, priorizando um diálogo respeitoso e bem formado no tenso encontro com as diferenças. O percurso trilhado é também formador dos professores que, pelo deslocamento geográfico que fazem, veem a necessidade de reconhecer as vicissitudes do espaço fronteiriço onde atuam.

Navigating Work-Life Harmony: The Effects of Corporate Culture on Mental Health
Authors: Dr. D. Shobana  , Dr. I. Siddiq
Published: January 2024

In today's settings, finding work-life balance has become more crucial than ever, and this has significant effects on the mental health of employees. In order to clarify the critical role that work settings play in influencing people's mental health outcomes, this study explores the complex relationship between corporate culture and mental health.Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, it becomes evident that corporate culture significantly influences employee attitudes, behaviors, and mental health (Cameron & Quinn, 2011; Schneider et al., 2017). This research examines the dimensions of organizational culture, encompassing its norms, values, leadership styles, and policies, to discern their impact on WLB and mental health.
Empirical evidence consistently underscores the association between a supportive corporate culture and positive mental health outcomes (Schein, 2010; Hofstede, 2011). Conversely, toxic cultures characterized by high stress, excessive workload, and lack of support mechanisms have been linked to increased stress, burnout, and deteriorating mental health among employees (Maslach et al., 2001; Leiter &Maslach, 2009).This study aims to identify critical factors within organizational frameworks that either foster or hinder WLB and subsequently effect mental health. By examining successful case studies and interventions promoting mental wellness within corporate cultures (Ryan & Deci, 2017; Spreitzer et al., 2012), it seeks to provide actionable insights for leaders and policymakers to cultivate environments conducive to WLB and bolster employee mental health.
The findings of this research will contribute to a deeper understanding of the nexus between corporate culture, WLB, and mental health, offering valuable implications for fostering supportive cultures that prioritize employee health and productivity..
Blogging in EFL: a Writing Project using ICT
Authors: Montalbán-Martínez Nicolás , García-Pinar Aránzazu , Tello-Fons Isabel
Published: January 2024

Blogging has become very popular in different educational fields, including second language teaching. This article arises from the need to research the impact that the implementation of blogging has on the acquisition of certain language competences. The main objective of the study was to research the impact of the use of blogging on the development of writing skills in the foreign language (L2). Students, divided into four groups, were asked to write a number of descriptive essays in which they could reflect both on the theoretical and practical contents seen in class. Using statistical tools such as Coh-Metrix to establish the errors that Spanish engineering undergraduates make when writing in English, the metrics of their texts were compared to the metrics resulting from a set of reference texts. Findings revealed that the use of blogging was positive in the four different groups. The high correlation between the grades awarded to students' essays by the teachers and those given by the Coh-Metrix tool showed its effectiveness in the study of the linguistic and discursive indices of the English texts produced by students.

Mobile-Assisted Language Learning is a thriving research area in the field of Second Language Acquisition. Hand-held devices such as smartphones are increasingly and widely being used for second language teaching and learning purposes nowadays. With the great variety of language learning applications entering a competitive market comes a need for studies to evaluate these applications critically so that teachers and learners can choose wisely. The present study aims to evaluate a language learning application called Mondly through a framework proposed by Reinders and Pegrum (2016). The evaluation was carried out by six experienced English language instructors. The results indicate that although the app suffers from a number of weak points, it can be particularly beneficial for beginner second language learners.
The Teacher's Role in Robot-assisted Language Learning and its Impact on Classroom Ecology
Authors: Maijala Minna , Mutta Maarit
Published: January 2024

In recent years, social robots have emerged as a new teaching aid in foreign language (FL) classrooms. Interaction in FL classrooms usually takes place between teachers and learners or among learners. However, this constellation of interactions changes when a robot enters the classroom. The robot’s role in the classroom has been studied previously, however, in this article we examine how initial encounters between a social robot and learners occur, focusing on the teacher’s role during these encounters. Additionally, we examine how children seek help or assurance from their teacher when interacting with the robot. Research data consists of video recorded in FL classrooms in primary schools in Finland in 2019. The primary school learners (N = 22) who participated in this study ranged in age from 10 to 13 years. The results show that during the robot-assisted language learning (RALL) interaction, the teacher had several roles: she validated children’s contributions, guided or mediated the discussion, encouraged the children to speak with the robot, and provided technical support. The results also suggest that the teacher’s role in RALL classrooms, while not necessarily central, is essential to ensure smooth interactions between the robot and learners.

Authors: Lima Jessica Valeria , Simonian Ligia Terezinha Lopes
Published: January 2024

Em 65 anos de existência da Universidade Federal do Pará, poucas mulheres conseguiram alcançar a direção universitária, sendo o maior cargo ocupado por elas o de Vice-Reitora. Desse modo, o objetivo deste estudo foi compreender as principais características e os caminhos percorridos pelas mulheres que alcançaram a Vice-Reitoria na UFPA. No que se refere à metodologia, utilizou-se a pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, no que se incluíram entrevistas, bem como a pesquisa bibliográfica e a pesquisa documental. Os resultados encontrados mostraram que a UFPA já teve quatro Vice-Reitoras, entre1993 a 2009, que tiveram experiência de gestão antes de assumir o cargo, sendo responsáveis por importantes projetos e/ou programas no decorrer de suas carreiras. Além disso, elas buscaram qualificação acadêmica, pois todas são doutoras, possuindo também mestrado e/ou especialização. Ressalta-se que o nome da maioria delas já constou em lista tríplice encaminhada ao MEC para escolha do Reitor. Apesar das dificuldades, as docentes que atuaram na Vice-Reitoria acreditam que a UFPA ainda terá uma Reitora. Com isso, conclui-se afirmando que as mulheres estão conquistando seu espaço na gestão da UFPA, porém precisam fortalecer sua presença na gestão máxima. Devido a importância das Vice-Reitoras para a história da gestão feminina na universidade, é necessário que haja mais estudos sobre essas mulheres.
The Book of Amos
Authors: R. M. Daniel Carroll
Published: January 2024

In this commentary on the book of Amos, Daniel Carroll combines a detailed reading of the Hebrew text with attention to its historical background and current relevance. What makes this volume unique is its special attention to Amos’s literary features and what they reveal about the book’s theology and composition. Instead of reconstructing a hypothetical redactional history, this commentary offers a close reading of the canonical form against the backdrop of the eighth century BCE.
The Book of Jeremiah
Authors: Goldingay John
Published: January 2024

Of the Major Prophets, Jeremiah is perhaps the least straightforward. It is variously comprised of stories about the prophet Jeremiah, exchanges between Jeremiah and Yahweh, and messages directly from Yahweh—meaning a consciousness of form is essential to the understanding of its content. At times it is written in poetry, resembling Isaiah, while at other times it is written in prose, more similar to Ezekiel. And it is without doubt the darkest and most threatening of the Major Prophets, inviting comparisons to Amos and Hosea.

John Goldingay, a widely respected biblical scholar who has written extensively on the entire Old Testament, navigates these complexities in the same spirit as other volumes of the New International Commentary on the Old Testament series—rooted in Jeremiah’s historical context but with an eye always trained on its meaning and use as Christian Scripture. After a thorough introduction that explores matters of background, composition, and theology, Goldingay provides an original translation and verse-by-verse commentary of all fifty-two chapters, making this an authoritative and indispensable reference for scholars and pastors as they engage with Jeremiah from a contemporary Christian standpoint.
The Book of Numbers
Authors: Ashley Timothy R.
Published: January 2024

The book of Numbers tells a story with two main characters–God and Israel. The way the story is told sounds odd and often harsh to readers today. The main point of the book is nevertheless of immense importance for God’s people in any age: exact obedience to God is crucial.

This comprehensive and erudite commentary presents a thorough explication of this significant Hebrew text. Timothy Ashley’s introduction discusses such questions as structure, authorship, and theological themes, and it features an extended bibliography of major works on the book of Numbers. Then, dividing the text of Numbers into five major sections, Ashley elucidates the theological themes of obedience and disobedience, which run throughout. His detailed verse-by-verse comments primarily explain the Hebrew text of Numbers as it stands rather than speculate on how the book came to be in its present form.

This second edition includes revisions that reflect Ashley’s decades of experience with the book of Numbers, as well as updates to the footnotes and bibliography, which add many important works published in the last thirty years. With these new features, Ashley’s commentary solidifies its place as the church’s most faithful and definitive reference on the book of Numbers.
The Book of Ezekiel
Authors: Block Daniel I.
Published: January 2024

To most modern readers the book of Ezekiel is a mystery. Few can handle Ezekiel's relentless denunciations, his unconventional antics, his repetitive style, and his bewildering array of topics. This excellent commentary by Daniel I. Block makes sense of this obscure and often misunderstood prophet and demonstrates the relevance of Ezekiel’s message for the church today.
Rebuilding with Hope
Authors: Stuhlmueller Carroll
Published: January 2024

The collected proclamations ascribed to two little-known post-exilic prophets, Haggai and Zechariah, represent a bridge between the traditions of classical Israelite religion and the dramatic changes essential to the preservation of the fragile Restoration community. Carroll Stuhlmueller’s section-by-section, verse-by-verse analysis and exposition focus on the prophetic word as addressed not only to Israel in this “time of small beginnings” but also to the Church today. His primary concern is the theological message of the prophets, yet ever with an eye toward their historical context, literary form and cultural setting.
God’s People in Crisis
Authors: Martin-Achard R. , Re’emi S. Paul
Published: January 2024

“Here in a straightforward and readable way S. Paul Re’emi takes us into the experience of exile and the anguish of Judah expressed in Lamentations, while Robert Martin-Achard takes us behind that moment into Amos’s confrontations with Israel which preceded her exile. The commentaries enable the reader to appreciate much of the prayer and the challenge that these two books expressed, and encourage us to see them as not merely ancient texts but theological resources for the modern world.”

The Book of Leviticus
Authors: Wenham Gordon J.
Published: January 2024

Leviticus used to be the first book that Jewish children studied in the synagogue. In the modern church it tends to be the last part of the Bible that anyone looks at seriously. Because Leviticus is largely concerned with subjects that seem incomprehensible and irrelevant today — rituals for sacrifice and regulations concerning uncleanness — it appears to have nothing to say to twenty-first-century Christians.

In this excellent commentary on Leviticus, Gordon Wenham takes with equal seriousness both the plain original meaning of the text and its abiding theological value. To aid in reconstructing the original meaning of the text, Wenham draws from studies of Old Testament ritual and sacrifice that compare and contrast biblical customs with the practices of other Near Eastern cultures. He also closely examines the work of social anthropologists and expertly utilizes the methods of literary criticism to bring out the biblical author’s special interests.

In pursuit of his second aim, to illumine the enduring theological value of Leviticus, Wenham discusses at the end of each section how the Old Testament passages relate to the New Testament and to contemporary Christianity. In doing so, he not only shows how pervasive Levitical ideas are in the New Testament but also highlights in very practical ways the enduring claim of God’s call to holiness on the lives of Christians today.

Oneness as a Way to Business for Good
Authors: Culham Tom
Published: January 2024

Hyper individualism accepted by business schools is bad theory resulting in management practices with negative consequences for students and society. Business is a social activity, and human consciousness includes intentions and values. All of these factors must be included in management
theory for good people to do good. The brain's left and right hemisphere consciousness are very different. The left favours division and acquisitiveness to accomplish things while the right is oriented to Oneness and being in relationship. Management education over emphasizes left hemisphere
consciousness and neglects the right which needs to be developed for balance. Daoist and Buddhist philosophies are aligned with right hemisphere consciousness and provide pedagogical insights that were implemented in a third-year business ethics class. Research indicates students experienced
Oneness-related phenomena therefore, it is possible to design Oneness education. Business hyper individualism can be shifted to a broader view resulting in a deeper connection with others, creating a better world.

As dificuldades do ensino da dança nas aulas de educação física em turmas do ensino médio
Authors: Felipe Emiliane Janice , Kremer Juliana , de Oliveira Aurélio Luiz
Published: January 2024

Historicamente considerada como sendo a mais antiga das manifestações socioculturais, a dança sempre teve pouca presença nas escolas, mesmo que o ensino de Educação Física tenha alcançado espaço maior no âmbito escolar. A dança, além de enfrentar com problemáticas (formação inicial docente, predominância dos esportes e das artes visuais, pouca diversificação de conteúdos, pouco aprofundamento, etc.) conceituais e metodológicas,ainda não alcançou a equivalência para enfatizar as várias possibilidades dos conteúdos do campo da Educação Física. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo discutir as dificuldades do ensino da dança na Educação Física nas turmas do ensino médio. Para isto, desenvolveu discussões acerca da Educação Física e a realidade no âmbito escolar e abordou mais especificamente quais são as dificuldades enfrentadas para que a dança seja abordada como conteúdo na escola, de forma a abranger toda a sua amplitude de possibilidades. Metodologicamente, o trabalho se caracteriza como uma pesquisa bibliográfica, sendo que as consultas foram realizadas através de diversas fontes e autores. Fontes eletrônicas como consultas à internet, quando foram analisados vários artigos e textos relacionados ao tema. Foi possível visualizar que as dificuldades para que seja implementado o ensino contínuo dadança na Educação Física escolar: uma formação profissional insuficiente para qualificar o ensino de dança; a existência de estereótipos acerca do ato de dançar, que são permeadas pelas questões de gênero; o entendimento unilateral da dança como sendo uma ferramenta auxiliar para o desenvolvimento motor; a perspectiva de que diz respeito a um conteúdo parasegunda instância a ser trabalhado em situações festivas na escola; e, por último, mas não menos importante, o entendimento da Educação Física como sendo uma prática desportiva.
