The Benson–Poppenburg Breechloader
Authors: Moss Matthew
Published: August 2023

The British Army’s search for a breech-loading rifle in the 1860s saw a variety of designs tested. The Benson–Poppenburg rifle, based on a system developed by a Prussian émigré engineer, is one of the most intriguing to have been rejected. Johann von der Poppenburg developed a simple breech action which did not require a bolt handle and could be used to retrofit existing muzzle-loaded rifles. Despite testing by both the British and Dutch armed forces, the rifle was never adopted for military service. In this short note, the author examines the rifle’s development, patents, mechanical characteristics, and trials history.

Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of credit risk and liquidity risk on profitability with loan restructuring and income diversification as moderating variables. The research population is all general banking companies, which were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2018-2021. The research sample was created using the purposive sampling technique and 160 observations were obtained. This study conducts panel data regression analysis using EViews 12 software. The results of this study indicate that an increase in credit risk reduces profitability, liquidity risk does not affect profitability, a loan-restructuring strategy can reduce the effect of credit risk on profitability, and an income-diversification strategy can reduce the effect of liquidity risk on bank profitability. The research findings provide an understanding of banking strategy, namely loan restructuring and income diversification can increase banking profitability under urgent conditions. This study provides support for contingency theory and stakeholder theory. The limitation of this research is that it does not discuss Islamic banking because the policies of those companies are different in terms of rules and there are limited data.

An empirical study of critical success factors in implementing knowledge management systems (KMS): The moderating role of culture
Authors: Abu-AlSondos Ibrahim A.
Published: August 2023

This research focuses on the moderating effect of culture on the relationships between KMS and other variables affecting KMS in the service industry. The effects of a number of variables on KMS were examined via analysis and hypothesis testing. These variables included culture; people; process; strategy; and technology. The results show that culture and people have a substantial impact on KMS's performance, emphasizing the need of cultivating a supportive company culture and empowering employees. Furthermore, strategy and technology were shown to be critical in allowing effective knowledge management practices in the service industry. The research also investigates the moderating impacts of culture on these linkages, demonstrating that culture modulates the impact of process, technology, and strategy on KMS. However, it was shown that the interplay between culture and people did not substantially alter the link between people and KMS. These results provide useful insights for firms looking to improve their knowledge management methods, underlining the need to take culture into account and aligning it with strategic goals and technology solutions. While the study adds to our understanding of knowledge management in the service industry, further research is needed to investigate other elements and situations. Overall, this research has practical significance for firms looking to enhance their knowledge management activities and overall organizational performance.

Authors: Safitri Ni Wayan Noviana , Wiksuana I Gusti Bagus , Candraningrat Ica Rika , Baskara I Gde Kajeng
Published: August 2023

The present study aims to assess and scrutinize the impact of market power and revenue diversification on the level of Non-Performing Loans (NPL), which serves as an indicator of banking stability, through profitability during the COVID-19 pandemic. The population of interest includes all non-Sharia commercial banking institutions listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2022. A purposive sampling method was employed, resulting in a total of 264 observations. The data analysis was performed using panel data regression with the assistance of EViews version 10 software. The findings of this research reveal a direct positive and significant influence of market power and revenue diversification on bank profitability, as well as a direct negative and significant impact of market power, revenue diversification, and bank profitability on NPL. A noteworthy result derived from this study is the partial mediating role of profitability in the relationship between market power, revenue diversification, and NPL. Consequently, it is concluded that market power and revenue diversification play a pivotal role in enhancing profitability, mitigating credit risk, and ultimately improving banking stability. This study lends support to the non-structural approach of NEIO (New Empirical Industrial Organization), the Competition Fragility theory, and the Product Portfolio Theory. However, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of this research, such as the focus solely on non-Sharia banking institutions due to their distinct characteristics compared to conventional commercial banks, as well as data constraints.
The impact of operational risk on profitability: Evidence from banking sector in the MENA region
Authors: Qabajeh Majed , Almajali Dmaithan , Natour Abdul Rahman Al , Alqsass Mohammad , Maali Hakam
Published: August 2023

The aim of this paper is to explore the potential correlation among operational risk and the profitability of Islamic banks in the MENA region. Different measures for profitability were relied upon in previous studies, however, in this article depend on return on assets and return on equity to measure profitability, and efficiency ratio calculated by operating expenses to total assets to measure operational risk. To achieve this objective, the sample comprises 20 Islamic banks from 12 MENA countries, creating panel data for a period of ten years from 2011 to 2020. The analysis was conducted using fixed effect models. The study will analyze and interpret the findings from two financial performance measures, namely, ROA and ROE to get insights into the banks' overall financial situation and their ability to generate profits from their assets and equity. Using one type of operational risk measured by (efficiency ratio) as an independent variable, along with profitability measures by (ROA and ROE) as dependent variables. These measures had a significant negative impact by the operational risk measured by (efficiency ratio). This means when the operational risk increases, this indicates that the management is not controlling the operations of the bank in the best way and inability or failure of the bank's management to effectively utilize the available resources and assets to generate satisfactory profits. This leads to an increase in the operating expenses and hence a decrease in profitability measures.

Authors: Alzboun Nidal Mohammed
Published: August 2023

Big data analytics capabilities have piqued the curiosity of academics and practitioners in recent years. However, there has been little research conducted on the effects of these capabilities on supply chain sustainability, particularly in emerging economies. To address this gap, this article attempted to investigate the impact of big data analytics capabilities on the supply chain sustainability of Jordan's hospitality industry using quantitative data derived from 512 managers in senior and middle levels of hotels listed in Jordan Hotels Association (JHA). Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was conducted for hypothesis evaluation. The research findings proved that the dimensions of big data analytics capabilities, which were infrastructure flexibility, management capabilities, and personnel capabilities, had a significant positive role in enhancing supply chain sustainability. Therefore, the research provided a series of recommendations for managers in these hotels, the most important of which was allocating significant investments in modern data-collecting technologies to record key changes across the supply chain, including manufacturing, transportation, and distribution.

Authors: Patterson Eileen , Sullivan Tom , Bricknell Samantha
Published: August 2023

Established in 1999, the Drug Use Monitoring in Australia (DUMA) program is funded by the Australian Government and is the nation’s longest-running ongoing survey of police detainees across the country. DUMA comprises two core components: a self-report survey on drug use, criminal justice history and demographic information; and voluntary urinalysis, which provides an objective measure for corroborating reported recent drug use. This report describes drug use, drug market participation and the extent to which detainees’ alleged offences were related to drug or alcohol use. Data were collected between January and December 2017 at five sites: Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Bankstown and Surry Hills. Since police detainees are more likely than the general population to have been in recent contact with the illicit drug market, understanding their drug use and offending habits is valuable in the formulation of policy and programs.
Wh-Movement in Iraqi Dialect
Authors: Khudhur Sohaib Mahmood
Published: August 2023

Changes in the word's position and the structure's construction are a system by which some words move from one position to another due to linguistic factors such as morphology and syntax. This movement is not limited to words alone; it is also possible in phrases. Constraints that regulate the movement process also govern these changes. The syntactic structure is a commonly influenced linguistic aspect in dialect languages. The sentence structure, including all types of sentences, varies according to dialect. The study of interrogatives, whether in Iraqi dialects or not, is significant. One of the two dominant dialects, Mosuli or Baghdadi, can serve as an excellent representative for the remaining subdialects. This paper will contribute to our understanding of the structure of interrogatives in the Iraqi dialect and the movement that occurs in various sentence positions.

Heavy metals are reported as neurodegenerative disorders progenitor. They play a role in the abnormal amyloid beta 40 (Aβ40) protein concentrations, the main hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of the present work is to study the morphological ultrastructural changes by transmission electron microscopy and measurements of Aluminium and Aβ40 protein concentration in rats’ hippocampus due to Alzheimer's-like disease in rats. Fifty male Albino Wistar rats were divided into five groups; the first group acted as the control group, while the other four groups each received 100 mg/kg of aluminium chloride (AlCl3) over the course of 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. The results indicated significant increase (p˂0.05) of alumininm and significant decrease (p˂0.05) of Aβ40 in the hippocampus of rats due to AlCl3 administration starting from 2 and 6 weeks, respectivily. Histological ultrastructural hippocampus changes were observed starting from 2 weeks of AlCl3 administration to reach the most damaged structure after 8 weeks, where its nucleus appeared shrunken with a condensed chromatin beside marked loss of the cytoplasmic organelles including mitochondria, rER, and Golgi apparatus. Also, vacuolation was clearly observed at the remnants of cytoplasm. According to the results of the current investigation, there is a significant link between multiple exposure to environmental heavy metals and the pathophysiology of AD by altering Aβ 40, which causes neuronal death, as well as histological and ultrastructural changes in the rat hippocampus.
Can you have it your way? The consequences of racial capitalism in fast food in America
Authors: Lee Tristian
Published: August 2023

First paragraph: White Burgers, Black Cash deftly traces the inter­twined history of fast food, race, and capital in America. The goal of this monograph is to chart the racial and spatial pathways fast food has tra­v­eled, from its genesis in the early twentieth cen­tury to the contemporary moment—where it has become heavily concentrated in Black communi­ties. From the onset, Naa Oyo A. Kwate sets the tone for the rest of the study, stating, “Fast food has always been a fundamentally anti-Black enter­prise” (p. xiii). The introduction shows how the anti-Blackness of fast food goes beyond health disparities, and instead is rooted in the subordina­tion of Blackness throughout history. The book sets out to outline the history of fast food’s color line, with an emphasis on three cities: New York, Chicago, and Washington D.C. . . .

Впервые в данной работе представлен ретроспективный анализ 529 историй болезни детей в возрасте от 1 месяца до 17 лет, с пиелонефритом (ПН) за период 2020-2022 гг, госпитализированных в нефрологоческое отделение детской городской клинической больницы №2 (ДГКБ №2) г. Алматы. Показано, что пиелонефрит чаще диагностируется в преддошкольном возрасте, в том числе наиболее часто у детей до 1 года. До 2х лет чаще болеют мальчики. Клинические проявления пиелонефрита выражены, поэтому в 85% случаев диагностика своевременная в первые 3 дня заболевания. Частота врожденных пороков органов мочевой системы составила 13,8% , среди которых каждый третий ребенок имел гидронефроз. Обращает внимание наличие хронической болезни почек (ХБП) у 12,3 % детей, среди которых каждый пятый ребенок имел ХБП ІІ-ІІІ стадии. Отмечается высокая частота (41,6%) высева грам (+) флоры у детей с пиелонефритом.

For the first time, this article presents a retrospective analysis of 529 case histories of children aged 1 month to 17 years with pyelonephritis for the period 2020-2022, hospitalized in the nephrology department of the Children's City Clinical Hospital No.2 (CCCH No.2) in Almaty. It has been shown that pyelonephritis is more often diagnosed at pre-school age, including most often in children under 1 year old. Up to 2 years old, boys are more likely to get sick. Clinical manifestations of pyelonephritis are pronounced, therefore, in 85% of cases, diagnosis is timely in the first 3 days of the disease. The frequency of congenital malformations of the urinary system was 13.8%, among which every third child had hydronephrosis. Attention is drawn to the presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in 12.3% of children, among whom every fifth child had stage II-III CKD. There is a high frequency (41.6%) of gram (+) flora seeding in children with pyelonephritis.

Бұл жұмыста алғаш рет Алматы қаласындағы 2020-2022 жылдар кезеңінде №2 Қалалық балалар клиникалық ауруханасының (№2 ҚКБА) нефрология бөлімшесіне пиелонефритпен жатқызылған 1 айдан 17 жасқа дейінгі 529 балалардың ауру тарихына ретроспективті талдау ұсынылды. Пиелонефрит диагнозы көбінесе мектепке дейінгі жаста , оның ішінде 1 жасқа дейінгі балаларда кездеседі. 2 жасқа дейін ұлдар жиі ауырады. Пиелонефриттің клиникалық көріністері айқын, сондықтан 85% жағдайда диагноз аурудың алғашқы 3 күнінде уақтылы қойылады.

行政訴訟管轄制度：由歷史變遷展望未來發展
Authors: 王 真平
Published: August 2023

管轄制度位處行政訴訟制度流程前端，對整個制度的功能運轉及價值實現意義重大。因受政治、經濟等因素影響，我國行政訴訟管轄制度變遷歷經附屬期、獨立期、過渡期、變革期四大階段。並呈現出司法權與行政權的交替博弈、國家頂層政策與地方司法實踐雙向驅動、制度成本的再平衡等變遷動因和邏輯範式。新時期爲解决訴訟中出現的“主客場”現象，實現行政審判的公平公正，跨區域異地管轄或跨區劃法院管轄行政案件成爲變革選擇。未來，應該提升行政訴訟管轄的制度配套，强化訴訟與覆議等多種管轄手段的互動，做好數位行政等新興案件的管轄安排，逐步走向行政法院管轄。
基本權利教義學中刑事訴訟法與憲法規範解釋的互動——以《憲法》第130條獲得辯護權條款爲例
Authors: 王 震
Published: August 2023

刑事訴訟法與憲法基本權利的合致性决定了刑事訴訟法中諸多規範的解釋必須關照憲法中的基本權利，而憲法教義學中對基本權利條款的解釋又需要重視從刑事訴訟法規範中尋求方案。經由刑事訴訟法中“被告人”概念以及辯護權條款沿革的解釋，作爲憲法基本權利的獲得辯護權，其權利保護範圍應包括刑事訴訟各階段的被追訴人。而獲得辯護權以客觀價值秩序功能課以立法者積極履行在國家追訴程序中創設和維護辯護制度的義務的同時，又可作爲審視刑事辯護制度規範體系，完善監察委員會調查程序中獲得律師幫助等具體制度之憲法合致性的依據。圍繞基本權利進行的刑事訴訟法規範與憲法規範解釋的互動，可以作爲研究被告人權利憲法化這一宏大議題的進路之一。
權力結構是性騷擾行爲的必要不充分條件嗎？
Authors: 段 知壯
Published: August 2023

相較於美國將性騷擾建立在性別歧視基礎上而言，我國的性騷擾立法更傾向於歐洲將性騷擾規制歸結於人格尊嚴保障的模式，但這並不意味著我國的性騷擾立法沒有關注到特定權力結構之於性騷擾認定的重要性。也正因爲如此，我國反性騷擾立法擺脫了作爲必要條件的權力結構或者說性別歧視問題，從而具有更强的針對性和可適應性。但其代價是縮小了性騷擾規範的適用範圍，比如美國法律語境中的敵意環境性騷擾就難以被有效規制。簡而言之，在我國的性騷擾立法當中，權力結構並沒有改變性騷擾的本質，其只是會對性騷擾的司法認定標準以及法律責任承擔産生具體的影響，如《民法典》中增設的單位責任便是對性騷擾背後權力結構問題的正面回應。
Environmental Volunteers Endorse Diverse Motivations: Using a Mixed-Methods Study to Assess Initial and Sustained Motivation to Engage in Public Participation in Science Research
Authors: Bible Jillian , Clarke-De Reza Sara
Published: August 2023

Understanding why individuals choose to get, and stay, involved in public participation in science research is essential to building and maintaining the strong base of participants required for many research and conservation efforts. This paper explores the differences between initial and sustained motivations of volunteers working in more- and less- intensive environmental citizen science projects in the Mid Atlantic United States. Results from our mixed-methods study show that volunteers endorse different motivation types depending on how the question is asked (survey versus semi-structured interview), and that volunteer motivation varies by program type. Although survey results did not show differences in motivation over time, interview responses indicated a potential shift from more egoistic to more collectivistic motivations. These findings connote implications for volunteer recruitment and retention including the importance of developing appeals that explicitly connect volunteer opportunities to both personal pleasure and to the support of a universal good.
