Authors: Shahri Masume  Hosseinzadeh
Published: October 2021

Is your corporate branding strategy effective? This paper presents a triple-dimension model for the assessment of the effectiveness of corporate branding strategy as a strategic decision in an organization: multiple stakeholders' reliance, financial value and strategic position. The elements of the model are based on information obtained from literature review and structured interview with specialists in strategic management and marketing and some multi-business companies' managers. A questionnaire and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) have been used to validate the measurement. Assessing the three dimensions (multiple stakeholders' reliance, financial value and strategic position) and integrating them into a scheme enable CEOs to understand whether their corporate branding strategy is effective.
CRISIS LEADERSHIP - AN ORGANIZATIONAL OPPORTUNITY
Authors: Prewitt James E. , Weil Richard , McClure Anthony Q.
Published: October 2021

Reactive leadership and crisis management have been synonymous for years. This flows from the belief that crisis is unpredictable and unexpected, which is simply not true. Crisis has its genesis in the values, beliefs, culture, or behavior of an organization which become incongruent with the milieu in which the organization operates. A leader, who is able to read the signals of looming crisis and understands how to harness the exigency brought on by the situation, can diminish the potential dangers and take full advantage of the resulting opportunities. This paper presents a generic crisis lifecycle as a representation of overall crisis. Since a crisis can be broken down into three unique phases, crisis lifecycles can be understood and utilized for the benefit of the organization. In the first phase of the lifecycle, the organization finds itself mired in a static phase which equates to a comfort zone. In this first phase leaders struggle when they attempt to introduce change or learning due to the organizations preference to avoid conflict and maintain stasis. When a crisis engulfs an organization then the stasis that envelops the organization evaporates and gives rise to the second phase or the disaster phase. The disaster phase often threatens the very existence of the organization. When the organization successfully eliminates the immediate organizational threat, the organization is able to enter the adjustive phase of the crisis lifecycle. In this third phase, the leader has the undivided attention of the organization and the underlying urgency to solve the issues that led to the crisis in the first place. Regrettably, many leaders don’t take advantage of this golden opportunity and push the organization back toward the status-quo which ensures that the crisis will return in force. The study of crisis leadership has become more important since the dawn of the new millennium because leaders in all areas face differing degrees of crisis in their daily work life. This emphasis on crisis leadership has spawned many books and academic journal articles which has resulted in a wide-ranging body of work from which we have divined the three stages of crisis and six strategies crucial for organizational success. These strategies are illustrated with examples of crisis leadership and how leaders saved their organization and tailored them for long-term significance.

Published: October 2021

This study investigates the interrelationships among brand personality, brand preference, customer perceived value, and golfers’ performance in the context of Taiwan’s golf clubs market. The theoretical and statistical relationships among these constructs are developed and verified. Using survey data from 345 out of 1,000 randomly selected golfers, this study employs ANOVA, Factor Analysis, and Discriminant Analysis to examine the research hypotheses. The findings reveal that (1) notable brand personality factors including Reliability, Fashion, Masculine, Excitement, Wholesome, Leadership, Sentiment, Feminine, and Uniqueness could explain brand preference to a large extent, (2) golfers’ customer perceived value regarding various golf brands are considerably dissimilar, and (3) golfers’ deviation in performance significantly relates to brands. In addition to conventional bases for market segmentation (i.e., demographics, psychographics, lifestyles, etc.), this paper clearly provides practical guidelines of implementing brand personality for market segmentation and promotion strategies. Brand personality proves to be a useful segmenting variable. The findings and the statistical results offer supportive evidence for implementing appropriate branding management on both functional (i.e., customer perceived value and performance) and emotional attributes (i.e., brand personality) in order to enhance competitiveness.

Authors: GODUADZE TAMAR , TEVDORASHVILI GEORGE , BURKADZE GEORGE
Published: October 2021

Endometrial carcinoma represents the most common gynaecologic malignancy, which frequently arises from malignant progression of endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN). Nowadays, there are no defined prognostic markers for the prognosis of the malignant progression of EIN and it still represents the subject of various investigations. Different studies indicate, that sex hormone receptors, DNA damage and apoptosis proteins, as well as epithelial-mesenchymal transformation markers play an important role in the progression of EIN. However, most of the published studies are full of contradictory results, which indicates that additional studies are necessary. In current review, we will discuss the current knowledge about the mentioned markers in terms of the prognosis of EIN.

Published: October 2021

In recent years, the survival rate of patients after liver transplantation (LT) has improved significantly. However, successful transplantation is directly related to the proper management of the patient after surgery, including considering essential aspects based on the results of laboratory tests. Therefore, it is essential to study the laboratory characteristics to investigate the functional state of the liver. In the present study, we investigated the indicators of liver function in postoperative patients: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), albumin, total bilirubin, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). Venous blood samples were used for investigation. A total of 10 post-transplant patients were studied. Appropriate research methods were used. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Overall, our results have shown that intensive examinations of the liver panel in postoperative patients significantly contribute to the proper management of the complicated patient, which directly impacts the final results. Notably, the variability of GGT and ALP may be directly related to the transplanted chronic immune response of the liver and may be used as an early marker for the diagnosis of biliary complications.

Authors: SVANADZE TAMAR , GACHECHILADZE MARIAM , BURKADZE GEORGE
Published: October 2021

Metaplasia represents the replacement of one differentiated cell type with another differentiated cell type, which is frequently seen in uterine cervix, particularly in endocervical epithelium. There are many different types of metaplasia in endocervix. It is suggested that metaplasia represents the fertile soil for the development of neoplasia. However, which cases of metaplasia transform into neoplasia, which type of metaplasia is more realted to neoplastic transformation or if there are some molecular markers which can predict the potential of neoplastic transformation, are nowadays less known. Current review represents the critical discussion of the available literature with regards to the evaluation of molecular markers and the potential of neoplastic transformation in cervical metaplasia.

Ransomware victimisation among Australian computer users
Authors: Voce Isabella , Morgan Anthony
Published: October 2021

This study presents the results from a survey of 14,994 Australian adult computer users conducted in June 2021. Nearly five percent of all respondents had ever experienced ransomware victimisation, while two percent of respondents had experienced ransomware in the last 12 months. Small to medium enterprise (SME) owners were twice as likely as other respondents to have been the victim of ransomware attacks in the past year and were more likely to have paid the ransom. The prevalence of ransomware victimisation varied according to the industry in which respondents were currently employed. Most ransomware victims did not pay the ransom. The advice given to ransomware victims was identified as the most common reason for a respondent’s decision about whether or not to pay the ransom, particularly in the case of SME owners.
Approaches to Pronunciation Instruction in Communicative Language Teaching Classrooms
Authors: Babaeian Ali
Published: October 2021

One of the main factors that affects pronunciation instruction in the classroom is the educators’ teaching approach. Various elements like L1 (first language), cultural backgrounds, et cetera would influence teaching pronunciation, making English teachers deploy different pedagogical approaches for the learning process to occur. This article aims to provide insights into the pedagogical approaches used by EFL (English as a Foreign Language) and ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers in their CLT (Communicative Language Teaching) classrooms. It will also explore the influencing variables on these approaches. For this purpose, five English teachers (two EFL and three ESL teachers) provided the needed data through a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview for this qualitative study. The results showed that the participants used two teaching approaches for delivering pronunciation lessons, and two types of variables (i.e., student-related and teacher-related variables) influenced their choice of approach in the pronunciation classroom. Although this study does not intend to be generalized, it provides language teachers with a view of pedagogical approaches used by a number of EFL and ESL teachers for teaching pronunciation.
Socially Just Education: A Theoretical Insight into School Leadership
Authors: Tran Dung Nguyen Tri
Published: October 2021

The socio-economic changes and neoliberal trends of the twenty-first century have been creating many profound impacts in the education industry, provoking the emerging need for an integrated environment where all individuals and organizations from different classes, backgrounds or communities are expectedly empowered with equal opportunities in order to develop to the fullest. Toward the ideals and goals of social justice in education, the function of leadership practitioners has been strongly challenged and critically redefined for a couple of decades. By theoretically investigating how the global research community has addressed this issue from various angles of view, this article hopes to remind current leaders of educational institutions to grow more sensitive to possible unjust occurrences and build up an inclusive schooling culture by putting learner-related values into the center of their work, addressing existing stereotypes in education, boosting active interactions with socially disadvantaged groups, adopting the perspectives of various stakeholders, as well as delivering other timely administrative reforms during their leadership practices.
2018 Ortaokul Matematik Öğretim Programının Sayı Hissi Bileşenlerine Göre İncelenmesi
Authors: ACAR Sema , PEKER Bilge
Published: October 2021

Sayı hissi son yıllarda üzerinde çalışılan konulardan biridir ve önemi sıklıkta vurgulanmaktadır. Öğrencilere sayı hissinin kazandırılmasında ise en önemli görev öğretmenlere düşmektedir. Öğretmenlere kılavuzluk eden kaynaklardan biri ise öğretim programlarıdır. Dolayısıyla öğretim programlarında sayı hissine gereken önemin verilmesi gerektiği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı 2018 yılı ortaokul matematik öğretim programının sayı hissi ve bileşenlerine göre incelenmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda temel nitel araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın veri kaynağı Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı’nın 2018 yılında yayınlamış olduğu Ortaokul Matematik Dersi Öğretim Programıdır. Araştırmanın verileri betimsel analiz yoluyla analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda öğretim programında yer alan 215 kazanımın 62’sinin sayı hissi ile ilişkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca sınıf düzeyi arttıkça sayı hissi ile ilişkili olan kazanım sayısının azaldığı tespit edilmiştir. Sınıf düzeylerine göre sayı hissi ile ilişkili kazanım sayısının en fazla olduğu sınıf düzeyi ise 5. sınıftır. Öğrenme alanlarına göre incelendiğinde ise öğretim programında yer alan sayı hissi ile ilişkili kazanımların büyük çoğunluğunun sayılar ve işlemler öğrenme alanından olduğu görülürken veri işleme ve olasılık öğrenme alanlarında yer alan tüm kazanımların sayı hissi ile ilişkili olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Programda yer alan sayı hissi ile ilişkili kazanımların sayı hissi bileşenlerine göre incelenmesi sonucunda tüm sınıf düzeylerinde ve tüm öğrenme alanlarında en fazla kazanımın “sayıların anlamı” bileşeninde olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Matematiğin daha iyi anlaşılması ve matematik başarısının artırılması için matematik öğretim programı kazanımlarında sayı hissine daha çok yer verilmesi ve sayı hissinin kavram olarak programda yer alması önerilmektedir.

Published: October 2021

The subject of poverty alleviation cannot be over emphasized, this is because its incidence is rampant worldwide and most importantly in the developing countries such as Nigeria. A significant number of the populace, both in the rural and urban centers of the country is affected by poverty. Different scholars have defined poverty and a simple, succinct and encompassing definition is that it is a condition where an individual is not able to adequately cater for his/her basic needs or lacks minimum standard of living. There are many causes of poverty and they all have immediate and future effect on the group of people affected. Many attempts have been made to lessen poverty in Nigeria by successive administration but failed due to one reason or the other. Nigeria has been described by many people as a blessed country and “a land flowing with milk and honey”, this is because of the natural resources that the country has among which Forest is. Forests consist of trees, shrubs and diverse animals living in them. Careful and sustainable management of these natural and artificial forests has hope of drastically reducing poverty to the barest minimum in Nigeria.

The study Evaluated the Impact of Effective Management Practices in Mitigating the Toxicity Symptoms of Pesticides Preparation, Storage and Application in Kebbi State, Nigeria. Structured Questionnaires were used to obtained information from the respondents. Descriptive statistics comprising frequency distribution tables and percentages and were used for Data Analysis. Likert scale was used to determine farmer’s perception on the toxicity symptoms of pesticides of pesticides preparation, storage and application employed by farmers when handling pesticides. The result of the study showed that majority of the respondents (90%) were male while female formed the minority in pesticide usage with only (10%). The study also showed that all the respondents (100%) were married and engaged in agricultural activities. The study further revealed that all the respondents never had any formal training on the use of pesticide from either governmental or non -governmental organizations. The research study also found out that all (100%) of the respondents were not aware of the toxicity of pesticides during preparation, storage and application. Likert Scale Analysis showed a negative perception by farmers on awareness of pesticide toxicity during preparation, storage and application. On perception of the respondents on the toxicity of pesticides during preparation, storage and application, the study revealed that Nausea, Dizziness, Diarrhea, Respiratory Difficulty, Skin Irritation, Rashes, Fever, Peeling of the Skin, Vomiting, and Headache were the serious toxicity effects of pesticide. It is concluded that respondents had negative perception on pesticide management of toxicity of pesticides during preparation, storage and application. It is therefore recommended that appropriate authorities should enforce the use of protective clothing, appropriate equipment and correct handling practices when using pesticides. Existing pesticide regulations and monitoring policies should be enforced. Government should also intensify efforts at registering and controlling distribution of pesticides and banning hazardous ones. It should also enforce the making of less toxic pesticides available to farmers.
