Assessing the impact of flood risk and associated factors on profitability of fish farming operations: evidence from South- South Nigeria
Authors: Ovuavuraye Ogisi  , Sarah Enwa
Published: June 2024

Fish farming plays a crucial role in food security and economic development in Nigeria. However, the country’s susceptibility to floods due to its geographical location and climate change has raised concerns about the profitability and sustainability of fish farming operations. This study aims to assess the impact of flood risk and associated factors on the profitability and sustainability of fish farming operations in South-South, Nigeria. The research employs a purposive random sampling techniques to generate data on flood frequency and severity, associated factor affecting profitability fish farms locations in the three (3) states, and other associated factors affecting profitability of fish farmers, their production figures are collected and analyzed to identify areas prone to flooding and the extent of damage caused to fish farms. Additionally, two hundred and one (180) fish farmers were sampled for the study (Delta 96, Bayelsa45 and Rivers 60 fish farmers) to gather information on flood risk effects, perception and profitability during flood occurrence. Preliminary findings indicate that flood severity is statistically significant at a 5% level (t-ratio: -2.4806) with a negative coefficient (-0.4876). Flood frequency is statistically significant at a 1% level (t-ratio: -4.5934). with a negative coefficient of -3.8035. This suggests that more severe flood events are associated with lower profitability among fish farmers. The result also revealed that at a probability of 0.1%, fish farmers in Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers States were susceptible to flooding with about 92.9% experiencing flood events although at a probability of 0.2%, it was noticed that only 7.1% of fish farmers were facing flood events. The study recommends that adoption of climate- smart farming practices, such as choosing flood resistant fish species and diversifying income sources, can enhance resilience, prioritize conducting thorough risk assessments specific to each fish farming location. These assessments should consider historical flood data, local climate conditions, topography, and the vulnerability of infrastructure. These findings will inform farmers and policy makers about the level of risk and guide mitigation efforts.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
This research explores the intricate interplay between military assistance and international political dynamics, focusing on its implications for regional power structures. Grounded in Power Transition Theory, the study aims to unravel the complex web of relationships influenced by military aid, examining its intended and unintended consequences. Leveraging qualitative research methods through the analysis of secondary data, three key dimensions are investigated: Military Assistance and Power Transition Theory, Unveiling Diplomatic Dynamics: Military Assistance, Bilateral Relations, and Alliance Politics, and Unintended Consequences: Military Assistance, Security Dynamics, and the Specter of Arms Races. The findings highlight the multifaceted impact of military assistance on regional power dynamics, shedding light on its role in shaping diplomatic relations, influencing alliance politics, and potentially triggering unintended security consequences such as the specter of arms races. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how military aid shapes the global geopolitical landscape. In conclusion, it emphasizes the need for nuanced policy considerations to mitigate unintended outcomes while harnessing the potential positive impacts of military assistance.

Published: June 2024

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a severe obstetric pathology, in which placental tissue invades the myometrium. According to the current classification of FIGO (2019), depending on the depth of placental tissue invasion, PAS is divided into Placenta accreta – about 75% of cases, Placenta increta – 15% and Placenta percreta – up to 10% of all cases.The most severe cases associated with the delivery of pregnant women with Placenta percreta, especially with placental tissue sprouting not only the myometrium of the front wall of the uterus, but also the back wall of the urinary bladder or parametrial and paracervical tissue, which according to the FIGO classification are defined as cases of Placenta percreta with a degree of severity 3b and 3c. These are the most dangerous cases of the development of severe hemorrhagic complications, coagulopathic disorders, and the occurrence of intraoperative complications with damage to adjacent organs, primarily the bladder and intestines due to hysterectomy.This article presents for the general public of obstetricians and gynaecologists the analysis of a clinical case in a pregnant woman with complete presentation and placental ingrowth into the prostatic parametrial tissue and partial adhesion to the posterior bladder wall (Placenta previa/percreta 3c).The use of a modified interiliac incision of the anterior abdominal wall, medical and technical support with the use of modern energies (radio wave scalpel, argon plasma tissue coagulation) to minimize the volume of blood loss were described. The intervention was carried out at the main clinical base of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology No. 1, the Kyiv Regional Perinatal Centre.
Human resource management in small enterprises
Authors: Has Maja , Alpeza Mirela
Published: June 2024

Small enterprises with fewer than 50 employees form the backbone of the economy in many countries and significantly contribute to gross domestic product, employment, and exports. Given their importance and role in economic development, economies can benefit from a strong, productive, innovative, growing small enterprises sector. Employees play an essential role in the development of small enterprises. For this reason, it is important to examine the extent to which small enterprise owners pay attention to human resource management and its development. Previous research on human resource management has mainly focused on large enterprises, while there is little evidence on how small enterprises manage and develop their employees. This paper analyses the approach to human resource management in two small Croatian enterprises. Based on six semi-structured qualitative interviews conducted with three different groups of employees – the senior manager, the middle manager, and the senior staff, two qualitative case studies were conducted to gain a deeper understanding of the approach to managing and developing employees in small enterprises. The findings suggest that small enterprise managers know the importance of their employees and the need to support their future development. Although small enterprises implement and adapt human resource management practices according to their capabilities and limitations, it is evident that fostering and empowering employees is embedded in their organizational culture.
To boast or not to boast
Authors: Modliński Artur
Published: June 2024

In the current phase of artificial intelligence development, more and more attention is being paid to technologies that make autonomous decisions. Little attention has been paid to the customers’ and job seekers’ perceptions of heavily technology-empowered organizations in the management and marketing literature. The purpose of this research is to fill this research gap. A between-subject experiment with fictitious brands was conducted with 239 subjects to answer four hypotheses about customers’ attitudes, intention to use the offer, intention to recommend the company to others, and job seekers’ intentions. The results show that an autonomous algorithm universally influences job seekers more than customer referral behaviors. People confronted with brochures from banks and hospitals that use autonomous technologies express a higher intention to work in such organizations than in analogous institutions that do not offer such a service. However, only in banks that use autonomous algorithms the customers have a more positive attitude and a higher intention to use or recommend the service. The hospital’s unknown brand does not benefit from such an advertising approach. This is the first study ever conducted with fictitious brands of banks and hospitals to investigate the referral towards companies using autonomous technologies. The topic is worth exploring as key market players (such as Oracle) recognize autonomous technologies as the most ground-breaking innovation that will shape business in the coming years.
Digital transformation of women-led businesses in Kosovo during COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Ibrahimi Qëndresë , Ibrahimi Agnesë
Published: June 2024

This paper aims to examine how digitalization played a vital role in enabling women-led businesses to navigate the challenges of the pandemic and explore the strategies they implemented for this purpose. Many countries were unprepared to cope with such a catastrophic situation, leading to significant consequences across various sectors. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of digitizing business processes and provides insights into how businesses have adapted to this challenge. In addition, the paper includes a thorough analysis of studies conducted by various authors who have explored this topic. This research paper is a qualitative case study and draws on primary and secondary data sources. The primary data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to selected companies to gain insights into their working methods throughout the pandemic. From the information gathered, it is evident that digitalization became imperative during the pandemic. However, this transition came with challenges in adapting the workforce to remote working arrangements. It is worth noting that the companies examined in this study are run by women, a particularly affected demographic during the pandemic. In terms of government decisions, several business support packages were adopted. This paper argues that women-led businesses should receive more support to operate more freely, digitize their work processes, improve well-being, and increase both turnover and the number of their employees.

Published: June 2024

This article focuses on the use made by Finnish vocational upper secondary students, including their opinions, with regard to the voluntary-based aspects and activities of a compulsory mathematics online course. In particular, the study investigated whether the vocational field affects students’ views and actions. There were altogether 313 students from six vocational fields participating in this study, but the number of students who responded to the feedback questionnaires related to the different opportunities and activities varied. Of the opportunities offered, the repetition opportunity was the most used and the most useful from the students’ point of view. Almost 90% of the respondents ended up, either voluntarily or under guidance, taking advantage of the repetition option. The education video was watched by almost 60% of the students responding to the questions related to the video. Students had a positive attitude towards the effects used in the educational video, the length of the video, and the level of explanation of theory. Approximately half of the respondents who were offered an additional practice opportunity took advantage of this, and the opportunity was seen as quite useful. There were only minor, if any, statistically significant differences between the vocational fields regarding the use of the opportunities offered and the opinions related to them. This research will assist in developing online teaching of mathematics at vocational upper secondary level and will also offer guidelines for the development of online education more generally.
Towards a fundamental understanding on Microscopic Transportation Simulation of Autonomous Delivery Robots
Authors: Dinar Yousuf , Maaß Jacqueline Bianca , Gertz Carsten
Published: June 2024

A large number of studies were focused into the adoption of ADRs in the current transportation and logistics, safety in practical applications, and deployment of advanced robotic technology. Only a few contributed to the simulation of microscopic transportation for autonomous delivery robots. Many researchers emphasized the importance of overcoming modelling gaps and covering the scope of simulation as realistically as possible in order to obtain reliable results from the simulation. The versatility of the technology, the nature of the logistics and components of ADR in the real world, and other challenges present challenges to the transportation modeller when it comes to thinking about the possible representation of ADRs in the simulation environment. The gradual development of both computational capacity and underlying behavioural patterns in microscopic traffic simulators opens the door for researchers to develop realistic ADRs model in the microscopic transportation simulation to investigate road interaction and the resulting impacts. This review explored and organized the currently available technologies, operational methods, and simulation components that need to be considered when modelling ADRs in microscopic traffic simulation. Furthermore, this review provides a basic understanding for modellers to address the potential challenges to cope on recent technological developments in ADR modelling and simulation.
Asphalt for underground and multi-storey car parks
Authors: Hrapović Kerim
Published: June 2024

Underground car parks and multi-storey car parks are not ordinary buildings, but demanding engineering structures that require special knowledge of those involved in the construction in planning, execution and monitoring. Car parks and underground garages require a permanent seal or a functioning surface protection system to protect against damage from moisture, chloride-containing de-icing agents and dynamic loads. The mastic asphalts used meet all the requirements placed on the surfaces of underground car parks and multi-storey car parks, but the asphalt concrete layers used in special construction methods can also meet these requirements.
Multi – criteria analysis of toll collection technologies from a financial and economic aspect
Authors: Marković Isidora , Komarica Jelica
Published: June 2024

The choice of the appropriate toll collection system is a very important decision because it requires significant investment and a poor decision regarding the choice of toll collection system can lead to major economic, environmental, and social problems for both present and future generations. This study aims to propose a methodological framework for decision support in selecting toll collection systems based on comprehensive multi-criteria analysis. The selection of the most effective toll collection system was performed from financial and economic aspects, using the AHP method. The study included 9 different toll collection technologies: DSRC with barriers, DSRC MLFF, RFID, GNSS/CN, ACM, ANPR, SmartCard, Smartphone, and vignettes. By the defined problem and specific priorities, it was found that GNSS/CN (0.174) is the best toll-collection technology. RFID toll collection technology (0.169) and DSRC MLFF technology (0.163) are equally good, while automated toll payment booths (0.040) are at the bottom. The obtained results can help decision-makers when choosing the most profitable toll-collection technology from the financial and economic aspects.
Analysis of the current situation and a proposal to solve the parking problem in the center of the city of Banja Luka by introducing new street parking spaces
Authors: Mihaljčić Goran , Mihaljčić Bojan , Marić Bojan
Published: June 2024

In the course of 2023, due to the expansion of the infrastructure, the center of the city of Banja Luka was left without four off-street to one street parking lots, which resulted in the loss of a total of 442 public parking spaces. Given that there is less and less free space on which new off-street parking lots could be built, the goal of the work is to find new locations suitable for the introduction of street parking spaces in the narrow and wider city center. As one of the solutions, Kralja Petra I Karađorđevića street and Vidovdanska street proved to be the best. In part of these streets, one-way traffic takes place on a road with three traffic lanes, and in terms of dimensions, it is possible to introduce street parking lots without causing traffic congestion. In this way, 2.2 kilometers of road would be obtained on which 220 new street parking spaces could be built, which fully correspond to the location, and provide safety and easy access to the parking space.
Broken windows theory: concept and history of practical application in the United States of America
Authors: Babaeva Valentina
Published: June 2024

The article examines one of the modern theories of the social systemic impact on crime - the theory of broken windows, and evaluates the practical results of its application in the United States. The work analyzes the arguments against the theory and their classification. The authors come to conclusion that the theory of broken windows, the application of which led to both a decrease in crime and a significant increase in living standards, is currently being criticized in the country where it was developed, the main reasons for which are class inequality, racism, and errors in the methodology of the creators of the theory. Main reasons of such situation are analyzed.
The role of the UN and France in settling the Yemeni-Eritrean dispute over the Red Sea Islands (1995–1998)
Authors: Al-Saadi Bushra Nasser Hashem
Published: June 2024

The Yemeni-Eritrean dispute over the Islands of the Red Sea is one of the most important internal conflicts where neither side was prepared to involve in this dispute. The research reached several results: France interest in the Red Sea and protecting it from any control of any other regional power was the motive behind its acceptance of the mediation of the UN to settle the dispute between Yemen and Eritrea over the Red Sea islands. The French mediation was accepted by both parties due to France positive and neutral positions towards the crisis. In addition, France has an experience in the field of international cases which persuaded the parties between Eritrea and Yemen to refer the issue of dispute to international arbitration which ended with success in favor of Yemen.
More Representation, More Influence? Explaining Female Marginalisation in German State Parliaments
Authors: Fetscher Verena , Manow Philip , Tröger Vera
Published: June 2024

Women are still underrepresented in positions of power and have limited access to the most prestigious policy areas. As a consequence, women do not have the same opportunities as men to influence policy-making. We have theoretical reasons to believe that the politics of committee assignments give room for female discrimination. We assess differences in committee membership using unique fine-grained data on members of German state parliaments from 1948 to 2016 and provide several measures of committee importance. With decomposition methods we test whether observable qualifications and experience, electoral incentives and structural aspects help explain gendered committee assignments. If anything, we find that female marginalisation becomes more pronounced as more women enter state parliaments. Observable characteristics and structural aspects explain these patterns only partially. We conclude that women remain systematically disadvantaged in the most relevant policy domains.
Bilingual language input to infants in Bolivia and the United States
Authors: Cychosz Meg , Weisleder Adriana , Villanueva Anele
Published: June 2024

Characterizing dual language input in children’s environments is critical to understand how early language experiences influence bilingual language development. However, little is known about how dual language exposure is distributed across factors known to influence the kinds of input children receive. This study examined how infants’ exposure to each of their languages is distributed across different speakers (adults versus other children) and speech registers (child- versus adult-directed speech). We examined daylong audio recordings of infants’ language environments in two bilingual communities: an indigenous Quechua- and Spanish-speaking community in Bolivia (n=10, M age = 9 months, 5 females, 5 males) and an immigrant Spanish- and English-speaking community in the United States (n=10, M age = 9 months, 4 females, 6 males). Infants in both communities were more likely to hear the societal language from older children than from adult caregivers. Infants were also more likely to hear the societal language in child-directed speech, and more of the minoritized language in adult-directed speech, by a factor of more than 4 to 1. Thus, infants in both cultures hear each of their languages in contexts that do, and do not, facilitate minoritized language transmission. These findings have implications for bilingual language development and maintenance, as distinct social contexts afford different opportunities for engagement and interaction over the course of learning two languages in infancy.
Impaired Gastric and Urinary but Preserved Cardiac Interoception in Women with Endometriosis
Authors: Cantoni Chiara , Ciccarone Sofia , Porpora Maria Grazia , Aglioti Salvatore Maria
Published: June 2024

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynaecological condition frequently associated with chronic pelvic pain. Visceral hypersensitivity could be present, like in other chronic pain conditions, causing altered levels of interoception. So far, studies have explored interoceptive deficits in chronic pain individuals exclusively using questionnaires or cardiac interoceptive tasks. Here, we explore cardiac, gastric, and urinary domains to probe interoceptive differences between patients with endometriosis and healthy women. 30 patients and 30 controls underwent three interoceptive tasks for assessing cardiac (through Heartbeat Counting Task, HCT), gastric (through Water Load Test-II, WLT-II) domains and bladder (through a novel Urinary Interoceptive Task, UIT) domain, which has been neglected so far. Participants also completed bladder interoceptive sensibility measures and subjective pain ratings for each endometriosis symptom (i.e., dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia, chronic pain). A positive correlation between WLT-II and UIT emerged in all participants (R=0.47, p<0.001), indicating that the lower the gastric interoceptive abilities, the lower the urinary ones. Moreover, compared to healthy controls, women with endometriosis exhibited lower scores in WLT-II (t(58) = 4.6814, p<0.001) and UIT (t(39.931)= 5.1462, p<0.001), as well as higher scores in subjective bladder sensibility questions (t(57.346)= -4.0304, p<0.001). UIT scores were associated with pain symptoms. Results indicate a dissociation between patients’ poor objective performance on interoceptive tasks and their high bladder interoceptive sensibility. UIT scores were associated with pain symptoms, suggesting that patients, probably due to sensitisation, struggle to ignore painful sensations, resulting in reduced accuracy in detecting physiological signals from the pelvic area.

Published: June 2024

Typological research shows that across languages, trilled [r] sounds are more common in adjectives describing rough as opposed to smooth surfaces. Here, we follow up on this lexical research with an experiment with speakers of 28 different spoken languages from 12 different families. Participants were presented with pictures of a jagged line and a straight line and asked to imagine running their finger along each one. They were then played audio recordings of an alveolar trill [r] and an alveolar approximant [l] and asked to match each sound to one of the lines. Participants showed a strong tendency to match [r] with the jagged line and [l] with the straight line, even more consistently than what has been observed for a comparable cross-cultural investigation of the bouba/kiki effect. An analysis of presentation order shows the pattern is strongest for matching [r] to the jagged line, but also very strong for matching [l] to the straight line. While we found this effect with speakers of languages with different phonetic realizations of the rhotic sound, it was weaker for those with a trilled [r] as the primary variant. One interpretation of this finding is that when a sound is used phonologically to make systemic meaning contrasts, its iconic potential may be more limited. Our findings extend our understanding of iconic cross-modal correspondences, highlighting deep-rooted connections between auditory perception and touch/vision.

Pulling Back the Curtain on the California Gang Database: Evidence of Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Disparities among 222 Law Enforcement Agencies
Authors: Pyrooz David , Densley James
Published: June 2024

The California Gang Database (CalGang) is the first, largest, and arguably most controversial shared gang database in the United States. This study examined its demographic composition and disparities in 103,840 records input by 222 unique law enforcement agencies between 2017 and 2022; the database was 94% male, 66% Hispanic, 23% Black, 51% 18 to 30 years old, and 38% 31 to 45 years old. About one-quarter of 1% of Californians are listed in CalGang. Age-standardized estimates indicated that males were overrepresented relative to females by a factor of 17 and that Black and Hispanic males were overrepresented relative to White males by factors of 33 and 11, respectively, while Asian males were underrepresented. These demographic disparities generalized across nearly all law enforcement agencies. Gang databases will remain highly controversial owing to significant racial/ethnic disparities, but also concerns about civil liberties, due process, privacy rights, and collateral consequences. The generative questions that remain are whether the observed disparities can be explained by legal factors and whether the public safety value outweighs any potential violations of individual rights.

Історіографічні рефлексії опонентів Р. Конквеста: суб’єктивна і об’єктивна критика
Authors: Борзов Сергій
Published: June 2024

The purpose of the article is to reveal the contradictory historiographic reflections of the opponents of the famous American researcher of Stalinist political terror and the Holodomor Robert Conquest, subjective assessments and scientific criticism. The research methodology consists of the principle of historicism and an interdisciplinary approach, methods of comparative historiographical analysis of sources, as well as elements of the "theory of reflections". General scientific methods (deductions, inductions), concrete-historical (chronological, problem-thematic), textology and scientific biographical methods are used. The applied task of the article is to resolve the conflicting assessments of the role and place of the Ukrainian scientific community in America and Conquest personally in the study of the Holodomor, refuting the scientist's subjective criticism. The scientific novelty is due to the goal and task of the analytical article, the formulation of the problem in the context of historiographical reflection, that is, the identification of subjective criticism of the scientific work of the Conquest, especially its interpretation of the causes and consequences of the Holodomor. Western literature has many works, the authors of which expressed a critical attitude to the scientific-historical interpretation of the scientist's Soviet political system, Stalin's regime, and mass terror. Our task was to establish the signs of motivated criticism of key problems: the causes of Stalin's terror, the concept and phenomenon of famine-genocide, the historiographic origin of the term "terror by hunger." The subject focus, rather than a descriptive and bibliographic review of the Scientist's works, seemed more constructive to us. The Conclusions emphasize Conquest's significant contribution to the historiography of the Holodomor, the presence in its approaches of elements of self-reflection, a restrained and balanced assessment of the historical forms of genocide, the avoidance of any ideological dependence, and a tolerant attitude to other opinions. The opponents' arguments turned out to be unconvincing, sometimes subjective and biased. They related to specific historical facts and events that revealed the worldview and political preferences of the opponents themselves. Conquest recognized objective criticism, especially regarding the number of victims of Stalin's terror. His calculations were not "random", but academically weighted, based on official statistics, historical literature, memoirs, and Soviet periodicals. The publication of his works in Soviet scientific journalism magazines of the late 1980s meant "objective" recognition of his merits, refutation of "subjective" criticism and accusations of "falsification".

The research aims to reveal the peculiarities of reflecting the activities of the Ukrainian authorities during the establishment of Nazi occupation in the local press ("Vinnytski Visti") and to indicate the source value of periodicals as an important resource for assessing the nature and competencies of local authorities in the Vinnytsia region. The research methodology is based on a comprehensive analysis of the complex phenomenon of press coverage of the activities of Ukrainian self-government bodies under occupation by a totalitarian regime. General historical methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison and generalization are used, along with content analysis and critique of periodicals as historical sources. The scientific novelty lies in analyzing a specific part of the periodical publication, focusing on the coverage of the complex of measures undertaken by Ukrainian local authorities in the field of administrative management, regulation of economic activities, social protection measures, and cultural life. This attempts, at the regional level, to reveal the true nature and functionality of the apparatus and activities of the Ukrainian authorities under occupation at its initial stage in 1941. Conclusions: Analyzing the publication "Vinnytski Visti" from September to December 1941, it is noted that the newspaper, as a periodical of local government, functionally had corresponding directions: providing the population with information about events in the world, country, and regional space; informing about the relations between the population and local authorities, introducing innovations in community life; explaining and commenting on the content of events and news, undoubtedly through the positions of the German occupation authorities and attempting to ensure their support by coordinating activities in various spheres of life, striving to ensure social consensus; despite the limitations of the occupation authorities, it popularized Ukrainian cultural heritage, called for the revival of folk traditions, and the eradication of the ethical practices imposed by the Bolshevik regime, while in the conditions of Nazi totalitarianism, it served as a mouthpiece for agitation and propaganda. The significance of the newspaper was particularly substantial in terms of informing about the renewal of the system of administrative management and fiscal policy, conducting mobilization measures, and organizing public events to arrange cultural and educational life in the community. The analysis of the newspaper as a source also shows the specificity of the powers of the local Ukrainian authorities, which, not being elected but appointed by the occupiers, had their own specifics. According to the procedure of formation, the local authorities were appointed, but in terms of powers, they corresponded institutionally to the functions of a local self-government body.
