Corporate Social Responsibility as the Pathway to Sustainable Banking: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Siddique Md. Nur-E-Alam , Nor Shifa Mohd , Senik Zizah Che , Omar Nor Asiah
Published: January 2023

Social and environmental sustainability challenges have led researchers to concentrate on sustainable banking and corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices. CSR aspects that are used for sustainable banking are explored, evaluated and summarized by limited literature. This study aims at identifying and summarizing the theories and the CSR dimensions used in sustainable banking related studies. The study critically analyzed 30 relevant documents that were systematically extracted from the Web of Science and Scopus databases covering the period of 2012 to 2022. The results show that researchers’ concentration on sustainable banking increased after the declaration of the Paris agreement and sustainable development goals (SDGs) in 2015 and 2016, respectively, where the majority of studies highlight the Asian and European contexts. The study identifies 14 theories and 28 CSR dimensions for sustainable banking. Based on those dimensions, the study proposes a model of sustainable banking. Later, it maps the relevant theories with the CSR dimensions so that future researchers can experiment with those theories and dimensions with sustainable banking in different contexts. Moreover, the study recommends that researchers can focus more on organizational change and risk management theories, and CSR dimensions that integrate social and environmental issues, as well as SDGs.

Published: January 2023

There are approximately 3.2 million SMEs in Pakistan. It is believed that more than 90% of the economic establishments are SMEs. They contribute 40% of the economic growth and create 70% of Pakistan’s overall employment opportunities. Despite substantial presence and contribution, 95% of SMEs fail within the first five years. Out of the remaining 5%, 25% of the SMEs survive up to four more years, adversely impacting economic growth, employment, and living standards. Previous studies indicated SMEs’ low performance as a significant cause and provoked entrepreneurs to shut down their businesses. Therefore, this study aims to examine the performance of SMEs in Pakistan. Based on the problem, the study contextualized the research model that investigates the relationship between financial capital availability (FCA) and innovative work behavior (IWB), which is believed to be crucial for enhancing small and medium-sized businesses’ performance through accelerated strategic change (SC). In addition, the moderating role of Government support (GS) on SMEs’ performance was also considered. The quantitative, cross-sectional research design was considered appropriate for this research. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire to 340 SMEs in the Pakistan manufacturing sector. The hypothesized relationships were tested through structural equation modeling (SEM) using Smart-PLS 4. Results showed a positive link between FCA, IWB, and SMEs’ performance. Furthermore, FCA and IWB are the key drivers to achieving an optimum level of SME performance, which translates the SC process within the SMEs in Pakistan. Additionally, this research discovered that SC partially mediates the relationship between FCA and IWB on SMEs’ performance. Moreover, GS strengthens the relationship between SC and SMEs’ performance. The present findings offer valuable insight to SME owners, policymakers, and first-line managers to understand the radical change in the process. The study also outlined policy interventions to uplift the diminishing SMEs’ performance.
The Driving Factors of Innovation Quality of Agricultural Enterprises—A Study Based on NCA and fsQCA Methods
Authors: Fan Xiaonan , Li Jingyang , Wang Ye
Published: January 2023

Agricultural product processing enterprises are a significant cornerstone to support the improvement of agricultural economy. How to reinforce the main position of innovation of agricultural product processing enterprises, gather innovation factors, and improve the innovation quality of enterprises is an important question to answer. Based on the technology–organization–environment (TOE) theory, dynamic capability theory, organizational learning theory, and sustainable business model theory, this essay develops a comprehensive system for sustainable innovation quality, takes 36 agricultural processing enterprises in Liaoning province, China, as research samples, and applies necessary condition analysis (NCA) and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to recognize the driving factors of innovation quality in agricultural processing enterprises. The results show that: (1) a single driving factor is not a necessary condition for high innovation quality, but entrepreneurship and the enhancement of green technology capability have a more universal role in producing high innovation quality in agricultural product processing corporations; (2) a combination of four paths enables internal and external factors to couple and interact with each other to achieve high sustainable innovation quality in agricultural processing enterprises in Liaoning province, which can be further divided into two major categories. The first category is “entrepreneurship–government support driven path”, in which entrepreneurship and government support are the main drivers, supplemented by green technology capability, organizational learning, and market demand; the second category is “green technology capability–market demand driven path”, in which green technology capability and market demand are the main drivers, supplemented by organizational learning, entrepreneurship, and government support. This paper also identifies seven conditional configurations that lead to non-high innovation quality, which can be categorized as the technology-inhibited type, entrepreneurship-deprived type, and government and market-driven type. The discoveries of this paper have significant hypothetical and practical value for improving the innovation quality of agricultural enterprises.
Applying Socio-Ecological Perspective for Fostering Resilience in Rural Settlements—Melghat Region, India
Authors: Dakey Shruthi , Morey Bhumika , Sukhwani Vibhas , Deshkar Sameer
Published: January 2023

At the brink of climate change, the perpetual human–nature links observed in remotely placed rural settlements, particularly those nested within ecological regions, are alleged to be deprecating. While the indigenous communities across protected forest areas depend on the surrounding environment for their livelihoods, the emerging climate discrepancies are posing serious concerns to their sustenance. To better understand the impacts of climate change on rural settlements, this research deliberates on the case of the Melghat region in central India, with a specific focus on the Lawada and Kotha settlements. At first, a methodical understanding of Socio-Ecological Systems (SESs) in Melghat is established by meticulously uncovering its social and ecological characteristics. Thereafter, to unearth the interdependencies between the two systems, an indicator-based framework is established. The SESs in the selected settlements are then analyzed based on the evaluation of community responses for defined indicators, using the choice-based preference method. The study outcomes reveal that the local communities consider the “Livelihoods” aspect to be the most critical element of resilience, and the progressive depreciation of nature-based livelihood practices is primarily influencing the local SESs. Correspondingly, this research characterizes the overall results with the existing scenario in Melghat to determine the key areas of intervention. Emphasis has been laid on strengthening the traditional systems to build alternative livelihoods that are resilient to the impacts that are exacerbated by climate change.
Creating a Risk Assessment Plan for Rainfall Impacts on Heritage Buildings Façades via Quantitative Methods
Authors: Hegazi Yasmine Sabry , Fouda Mohanad
Published: January 2023

The unstable climate causes many related risks, including heavy rainfall. In the past, Egypt experienced rainfall over time. Although Egypt is still classified as a low-precipitation country, it can experience extreme rainfall events, resulting in flash floods. Many fragile materials related to heritage building façades may be affected by the change in rainfall rates without any risk assessment plan. This research aims to confront the hazards of raindrop strikes, as the need for making a risk management plan has arisen in order to preserve heritage buildings from heavy rainfall. The research methodology uses the ABC risk assessment quantitative method in addition to experts’ multi-round assessments and tornado diagrams to analyze the magnitude of risks in order to create a risk assessment plan for a group of heritage buildings in Historic Cairo as a pilot study that can be generalized for similar cases. The final output is framed into a cause-and-effect model for rainfall risk problem solving, generated by rainfall risk causes and effects on the heritage building facades.
The Role of Urban–Rural Connections in Building Food System Resilience
Authors: Berkhout Ezra , Sovová Lucie , Sonneveld Anne
Published: January 2023

This paper investigates food system resilience—conceptualized through the four dimensions of agency, buffering, connectivity, and diversification—from the perspective of rural–urban relations. We consider three cases that capture distinct actor and policy foci in the wider literature on urban–rural interactions. These are secondary cities and their development potential as central nodes in urban–rural food systems, the role of digital infrastructure in shaping food systems resilience, and finally, street food vendors as a particularly vulnerable yet crucial group of actors linking rural food supply with urban demand. We review existing literature within these themes, with a particular focus on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the food systems in middle- and low-income countries. This allows us to examine the relationship between rural–urban connectivity and food system resilience and to identify possible trade-offs. We formulate recommendations for research and policy around the notions of new localities (i.e., considering the interconnectedness of rural and urban food systems across administrative boundaries), smart development (i.e., context-specific approaches building on local strengths), and network governance (i.e., inclusive decision making engaging with diverse stakeholders across multiple scales).

The acceleration of stunting reduction in Indonesia is one of the priority agendas in the health sector, its implementation being through various regional and tiered approaches. This paper aims to manage management using an integrated system framework approach at the regional level and to support the acceleration of stunting reduction nationally. It takes a quantitative description approach that uses secondary data sourced from the Directorate General of Regional Development, Ministry of Home Affairs, the Republic of Indonesia in 2019–2021. The locus of papers is in five provinces, North Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, West Kalimantan, and East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The data collection and processing consisted of twenty stunting convergence coverage referring to regulations in Indonesia. The analysis used is an integrated framework based on five dimensions. Management based on an integrated framework in a regional-based system for stunting convergence can be a solution to accelerating stunting reduction. This paper provides an option to accelerate the handling of stunting through the Integration of Service Governance-Based Systems in Districts/Cities, considering the achievements in the last three years that have not been maximally carried out in every district/city in five provinces in Kalimantan, Indonesia. This study explains that the local government needs to socialize and disseminate the commitment to stunting reduction results to reaffirm commitment and encourage all parties to actively contribute to integrated stunting reduction efforts. This paper has limitations in the implementation of dimensions that can develop in a context that is correlated with several perspectives, such as regional planning, budgetary capacity, and regional capacity.
Regional Inequality of Higher Education Development in China: Comprehensive Evaluation and Geographical Representation
Authors: Han Yong , Ni Ruixing , Gao Junbo
Published: January 2023

China’s higher education has entered the stage of a universal system, enrolling over 50% of students, and the Chinese government takes its high-quality oriented development as its educational goal. However, as the largest developing country in the world, the regional inequality is still a major obstacle to the equitable development of higher education in China. With the 1270 higher education institutions listed by the Chinese Ministry of Education in 2021 as the research objects, the degree of regional inequality of higher education development (HED), and its influencing factors, was visualized after being calculated by geo-statistical methods, such as geographical detectors. The results show that, first, HED in China shows regional linkage and hierarchical connection in high-value regions in the input and outcome dimensions. Second, the input dimension is still the leading factor restricting current HED in China. At the local scale, the geographical stratification characteristics of the four dimensions are evident. The restriction of the educational process covers a wide range and is concentrated in areas with the high-value regions of HED. The innovation of the research is the analysis of the geographical stratification of mechanisms, which identifies regional differences in the factors affecting HED in China.

A 2D Moving Mesh Finite Element Analysis of Heat Transfer in Arctic Soils
Authors: Wilber Michelle , Hailu Getu
Published: January 2023

Accurate soil heat transfer models are needed to predict and adapt to a warming arctic. A numerical model to accurately predict temperatures and thaw depths in soils, both with depth and with horizontal distance from features such as cliffs, was developed in Matlab using the finite element method. The model was validated against analytical solutions to simple versions of the problem and experimental temperature data from borehole thermistor strings on the north shore of Alaska. The current model is most useful for short term (on the order of days) predictions of thaw depth and near surface temperatures in homogeneous soils with existing data to allow the calibration of soil thermal parameters. These are exactly the time scales and capabilities that would integrate well with erosional models to predict the erosion during storm events and summer thaw conditions. Comparisons with analytical solutions show the model to be fairly accurate in predictions of temperatures thaw-depth and temperatures, within about 0.25 °C and 0.02 m respectively, for reasonable arctic soil parameters. Differences between predicted temperatures and thaw-depth against borehole data from Barter Island, Alaska are within about 1 °C and 0.5 m respectively. Comparison to commercial software, which does not directly track and move the phase change boundary, shows that this moving-mesh model has much better agreement. The model developed in this work is flexible and can be modified to model a wide variety of problems, but is efficiently set up to take a surface and thaw-boundary profile (not necessarily horizontal) and use soil parameters and surface boundary conditions appropriate to Arctic regions. It has been verified to appropriately model cliffs, which are particularly vulnerable to erosion.
The Impact of GRBs on Exoplanetary Habitability
Authors: Spinelli Riccardo , Ghirlanda Giancarlo
Published: January 2023

Can high-energy transient events affect life on a planet? We provide a review of the works that have tried to answer this question. It is argued that that gamma ray bursts, specifically those of the long class, are among the most dangerous astrophysical sources for biotic life and may exert evolutionary pressure on possible life forms in the universe. Their radiation can be directly lethal for biota or induce extinction by removing most of the protective atmospheric ozone layer on terrestrial planets. Since the rate of long gamma ray bursts is proportional to the birth rate of stars but is reduced in metal rich regions, the evolution of the “safest place” to live in our galaxy depended on the past 12 billion years of evolution of the star formation rate and relative metal pollution of the interstellar medium. Until 6 billion years ago, the outskirts of the galaxy were the safest places to live, despite the relatively low density of terrestrial planets. In the last 5 billion years, regions between 2 and 8 kiloparsecs from the center, featuring a higher density of terrestrial planets, gradually became the best places for safe biotic life growth.

El género no binario como manera deconstruida de interpretar el mundo
Authors: Medina Altamiranda Said Josue
Published: January 2023

El presente artículo presenta recursos teóricos que evidencian cómo el género no binario ha sido estigmatizado, invisibilizado y no reconocido dentro de la sociedad occidental contemporánea. Desde el lenguaje en el que estamos sumergidos, la lógica patriarcal ha discriminado a aquellas personas que no se sienten identificadas con los géneros hegemónicos, hombre-mujer, los cuales representan dos únicas maneras de ver el mundo. El género define una manera de interpretar el mundo, por lo tanto, el género no binario también tiene esta cualidad. Dialogar con los distintos géneros, incluyendo los disidentes, nos permitirá deconstruir los conceptos que tenemos en torno al sexo, identidad de género, expresión de género y orientación sexual. En un primer lugar, se aborda el tema del binarismo y la crisis de las identidades en la sociedad occidental. En una segunda instancia, analizo las complejidades lingüísticas y epistemologías del género no binario; finalmente, realizo una lectura de la noción de género a través de la perspectiva hermenéutica, para comprender cómo el género no binario constituye una disidencia de los géneros hegemónicos y aporta una concepción e interpretación deconstruida del lenguaje y, por lo tanto, del mundo.
On the Hermeneutics of Berio's “Sinfonia”
Authors: Акопян Левон Оганесович
Published: January 2023

Вокально-оркестровая «Симфония» Лучано Берио (1968-1969) — своеобразный конгломерат идей, занимавших умы западных интеллектуалов в эпоху, когда начался подъем мультикультурализма, культ новизны постепенно сдавал свои позиции под натиском эстетического плюрализма, высокое искусство так или иначе вращалось вокруг тем экзистенциального одиночества и отчаяния, потерянности во враждебном мире, — тогда как научная мысль, даже в гуманитарных областях, стремилась к строгой структурированности, а в политической ориентации возобладал левый либерализм, не без симпатий к коммунизму. Богатое музыкальное и идейное содержание «Симфонии» вызвало к жизни обширную литературу герменевтической направленности. Вместе с тем в «Симфонии» обнаруживаются и такие глубинные универсальные смыслы, которые все еще во многом скрыты от поверхностного взгляда. Осуществленный в статье анализ музыкального и литературного содержания «Симфонии» направлен на истолкование этих смыслов. Привлеченный для этой цели ассоциативный контекст содержит данные из области антропологии, религии, философии, литературы и кино, не принятые во внимание в предшествующих исследованиях.

Luciano Berio's vocal-orchestral “Sinfonia” (1968-1969) represents a peculiar “symphony” of ideas that occupied the minds of Western intellectuals during the late sixties, when multiculturalism began to rise, the cult of novelty was gradually yielding its position under the pressure of aesthetic pluralism, serious literature and arts were concerned especially with the topics of existential solitude and despair, of being lost in a hostile world, while the scholarly thought, even in humanities, tended towards highly ordered structures, and the intellectual community's political orientation was predominantly leftist, not without sympathy with communism. The work's rich musical and ideological content gave rise to an extensive literature of hermeneutic orientation. At the same time, “Sinfonia” contains some deeper universal meanings, which are still largely hidden from a superficial view. The analysis of the work's musical and literary content, carried out in this article, is directed to a hermeneutic interpretation of these meanings. The present study's associative context includes data from the fields of anthropology, religion, philosophy, literature, and cinema, which, to the best of the author's knowledge, have not been taken into account in previous analytical writings.
Studying the Phenomenon of Operatic Madness. The Problem of Periodization
Authors: Любимов Дмитрий Вадимович
Published: January 2023

В статье рассматривается проблема периодизации сцен безумия в европейском музыкальном театре. Автор анализирует три взгляда на историческую эволюцию оперного сумасшествия: психиатра Нила Бренера, культуролога Кортни Миллер и литературоведа Эстер Хузер. Все названные ученые обсуждают исключительно тексты либретто, не касаясь их музыкального воплощения. Изложены основные критерии и принципы данных периодизаций, обозначены хронологические рамки периодов, описаны их характерные особенности. Отмечены как методологически перспективные, так и весьма спорные стороны рассматриваемых работ. Цитаты из исследований представлены в авторском переводе.

The article deals with the problem of the periodization of madness scenes in European musical theater. The author analyzes three views on the historical evolution of opera madness: by psychiatrist Neil Brener, by cultural critic Courtney Miller and by literary scholar Esther Huzer. All these scholars discuss only the texts of the librettos without touching on their musical embodiment. The main criteria and principles of each periodization are exposed, the chronological framework of the periods is outlined, and their characteristic features are described. Both methodologically promising and highly controversial aspects of the works under consideration are emphasized. Quotations from the research are presented in the author's translation.
Alisa Freindlich, or Concert on the Christmas Eve
Authors: Скигин Семён Борисович
Published: January 2023

Алиса Фрейндлих, вопреки законам времени, не теряя обаяния и привлекательности, ведет диалог со сцены и с экрана уже с несколькими поколениями зрителей и слушателей. Пианисту Семёну Скигину посчастливилось сотрудничать с Алисой Бруновной, выйти с ней на концертную эстраду, осуществив свою давнюю мечту — вернуть на русскую сцену Рождество, Библию. Сегодня это звучит как само собой разумеющееся, но полстолетия назад требовалось известное мужество, чтобы громко заявить: «Я — человек глубоко верующий!» О том, как это произошло, о музыкальной жизни Ленинграда восьмидесятых годов минувшего века и рассказывает эта статья.

Alisa Freindlich, contrary to the laws of the time, does not lose her charm and attractiveness and conducts a dialogue from the stage and the screen with several generations of viewers and listeners. Pianist Semyon Skigin was lucky enough to collaborate with her, to go on the concert stage with her and fulfil his old dream-to return Christmas and the Bible to the Russian stage. Today it seems self-evident, but half a century ago it took courage to declare: “I am a deeply religious person!” loudly. This article tells about how this happened, about the musical life of Leningrad in the eighties of the last century.
PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROCESSES DURING THE SYNERESIS OF BENTONITE HYDROGEL
Authors: В. Х. Межидов, , Р. Х. Дадашев, , З. Ш. Гацаев, , Н. А. Галанина,
Published: January 2023

Структура, состав и свойства бентонита зависят от месторождения. Нами проведены экспериментальные исследования синерезиса с использованием бентонита ЧР. В опытах экспериментально определяли объем синеретической жидкости, которая выделялась при синерезисе, в зависимости от следующих факторов: концентраций бентонита; содержания электролита KCl; продолжительности действия ультразвука. В результате проведенных опытов установлено, что бентонит ЧР относится к группе коллоидов, понижающих синеретическую жидкость. Измельчение частиц бентонита под действием ультразвука приводит к значительному увеличению объема синеретической жидкости. Добавление в гидрогель электролита KCl повышает синерезис и формирует ступенчатые графики, где рост объема синеретической жидкости прекращается на 30 и менее минут, образуя горизонтальные участки. Увеличение концентрации КС1 повышает (и наоборот) протяжённость полос (ступенек) одинаковых значений объёмов синеретической жидкости. Мы объясняем появление ступенек коагуляционными свойствами КС1, который объединяет диспергированные частицы в агрегаты и хлопья. При этом в геле появляется свободная жидкая фаза, покидающая образец при меньшем гидравлическом сопротивлении микроскопических каналов в образце.

The structure, composition and properties of bentonite depend on the deposit. We have carried out experimental studies of syneresis using ChR bentonite. In experiments, the volume of syneretic fluid that was released during syneresis was experimentally determined, depending on the following factors: bentonite concentrations; electrolyte content KCl; the duration of the ultrasound. As a result of the experiments, it was found that CR bentonite belongs to the group of colloids that reduce the syneretic fluid. The grinding of bentonite particles under the action of ultrasound leads to a significant increase in the volume of the syneretic liquid. The addition of KCl electrolyte to the hydrogel increases syneresis and forms stepped graphs, where the growth of the syneretic fluid volume stops for 30 minutes or less, forming horizontal sections. An increase in the concentration of KS1 increases (and vice versa) the length of the bands (steps) of the same values of the volumes of the syneretic fluid. We explain the appearance of steps by the coagulation properties of KS1, which combines dispersed particles into aggregates and flakes. In this case, a free liquid phase appears in the gel, leaving the sample at a lower hydraulic resistance of microscopic channels in the sample.

Рецидивирующий респираторный папилломатоз (РРП) является одним из наиболее сложных заболеваний с точки зрения патогенеза, течения и лечебных подходов. Несмотря на редкость, считается, что это наиболее распространенное доброкачественное новообразование гортани как у детей, так и у взрослых. Вопреки достигнутым успехам в хирургии, РРП во всем мире рассматривается как патология с высокой частотой рецидивов, риском фатального поражения нижних дыхательных путей и значительным снижением качества жизни. В настоящее время установлено, что тяжесть клинического течения РРП во многом зависит от серотипа вируса папилломы человека (ВПЧ). Существует более 180 типов ВПЧ. Принято считать, что 6-й и 11-й серотипы ответственны за большинство случаев возникновения РРП. При этом в литературе достаточно часто встречаются данные и об идентификации других агрессивных в отношении гортани типах ВПЧ. Однако, учитывая тот факт, что большинство авторов не придерживались единого дизайна исследования, опубликованные результаты зачастую противоречивы. Возраст манифестации заболевания и штамм ВПЧ являются двумя широко обсуждаемыми потенциальными предикторами тяжести заболевания.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is one of the most difficult diseases in terms of pathogenesis, course and treatment. Although being rare, it is believed to be the most common benign laryngeal lesion in children and adults. Despite the advances made in surgery, worldwide RRP is considered a severe disease with high recurrence rates, risk of the fatal damage of the lower airway, and significant decrease in quality of life. It is now estimated that the severity of RRP clinical course mostly depends on the human papillomavirus (HPV) serotype. There are over 180 types of HPV. It is generally considered that serotypes 6 and 11 are responsible for most cases of RRP. At the same time literature reviews give data on other types of HPV aggressive against the larynx. However, considering the fact that the most authors did not adhere to a single study design, published results are often inconsistent. Age at disease onset and HPV strain are two commonly discussed potential predictors of increased disease severity.

There have been many counseling service practices that are below standard and even deviate, providing counseling assistance that is not optimal and even deviating from these items will certainly affect the results that will be obtained by the counselee, the counselee will cer-tainly be detrimental because of it. One of the factors that can be the cause of the emergence of these problems is a counselor who is less or not ideal. Unlike school/educational counseling which has the main reference in the form of the Minister of Education Regulation Number 27 of 2008 concerning Academic Qualification Standards and Counselor Competencies, which contains ideal writings that must be owned by education/school counselors, in Islamic counseling there is no single main guideline that must be followed. become a reference for the ideal personality of Islamic counselors. In ن-------- by Habib Abdullah bin Husain bin Thohir, there is a prayer verse that discusses the criteria for ideal leaders, which then these criteria in this study will be discussed from the point of view of Islamic counseling, especially the ideal counseling of Islamic counselors. The problem that will be discussed in this research is how is the ideal personality of Islamic counselors based on values in the work of Habib Abdullah Bin Husain Bin Thohir Baa Alawi? The method that will be used to discuss these problems is a qualitative method with the type of hermeneutic research, and the data analysis uses the objectivist Hika cycle (objectivist hermeneutics) from Gadamer›s part-whole path. This study tries to understand what is contained in the verse about the criteria of an ideal leader, and then discussed from the point of view of Islamic counseling in the aspect of the ideal personality that an Islamic counselor must have. The ideal personality of an Islamic counselor based on the values contained in is unique because there has never been an ideal personality that has been raised with the same composition and discussion material, namely Amar Ma›ruf Nahi Mungkar, Faith and Fear, Obeying the Rules, Loving People. People Sholeh, Fair, and Confidentiality (Gives a Sense of Security Especially in terms of Confidentiality).

Proximate composition of the flours indicated that wheat flour had the highest protein content followed by corn, millet, quinoa, and buckwheat while rice, potatoes, and tapioca flours had the lowest protein content. Sensory and physical evaluation of the bread types showed that most flour types gave bread loaves with good specific volumes compared to wheat flour. Most bread types were tender when freshly baked, but only wheat and potato breads maintained their tenderness 4 hours after baking. The taste of potato and tapioca breads were the most acceptable and similar to that of wheat bread ( P≤0.05). It can be concluded that pocket-forming flatbread with good sensory and functional characteristics can be produced from most flours if consumed fresh after baking.

According to the theory of Hipocrates (3rd century BC) "all diseases begin in the intestines". It is now known that intestinal microorganisms participate in physiological processes such as: immune system functioning, detoxification, inflammation, neurotransmitter and vitamin production, nutrient absorption, hunger, and satiety signaling, carbohydrate and fat burning. Thus, a beneficial microbial flora is maintained by proper nutrition. Also, in the literature, there are microbiome-specific associations with different pathologies: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), asthma, autism, allergies, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, and diabetes. To prevent these pathologies, in the children's growth and development it must be considered multiple factors: the type of birth (natural or caesarean), genetics, general health, physical activity, sedentarism, sleep quality, and appropriate nutrition.

Students in university are experiencing increased stress levels due to their daily routines. Students can self-manage their everyday stress with the self-therapy application before it causes other problems requiring professional assistance. This study aimed to determine whether VRT-stressNOmore, an image-based virtual reality with a few realistic University Utara Malaysia environments, can reduce student stress. However, the evidence for image-based virtual reality as a self-therapy is still in the leakage phase. Therefore, the objectives are determining the features that support self-therapy, confirming the features through expert review, designing and developing, and conducting therapeutic test. Implementation of pre-production-post methodology to achieve the goals and objectives. During the week of final exams, 47 healthy undergraduates and 29 healthy postgraduates consented to participate in this study. The T-test result indicates the different values before and after experiencing VRT-stressNOmore, demonstrating the beneficial effect of reducing stress. However, additional research is necessary to confirm the potential and efficacy of VRT-stressNOmore as a self-therapy application for university students.

Much has been written about service quality, perceived value and its impacts on satisfaction and behavioural intentions. However, little research on this perspective has been carried out in public rail transit settings in Malaysia. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between service quality, perceived value, satisfaction, and behavioural intentions of Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) passengers in Klang Valley, Malaysia. A survey method via structured questionnaire was employed and analysis was performed using Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS). Perceived value for money and service quality are found to be important predictors of satisfaction and behavioural intentions among MRT passengers. Thus, the findings lend support to the means end chain theory. This study also includes a discussion, conclusions, implications, and limitations of the study.

Virtual Tourism (VT) is defined as a novel concept that enables potential tourists to enjoy tourist sites without visiting them physically. Nonetheless, VT remains a novelty for Malaysian tourists. Therefore, this study intends to ascertain travellers’ adoption intentions in Virtual Tourism via the use of a Value-based Adoption Model (VAM). Travellers in Malaysia aged 21 to 39 were the analytic unit in this study. A total of 302 usable responses were obtained from an online self-administered questionnaire and analysed using Partial Least Squares-SEM in conjunction with the SmartPLS programme. Prior to proceeding to the next questions, respondents were shown a film to gauge their level of acceptance of virtual tourism. The research findings indicate that perceived benefits are more influential to perceived value than perceived sacrifices. Results showed that the components of perceived benefits, namely perceived usefulness (β = 0.341, t = 6.552) and perceived enjoyment (β = 0.341, t = 6.552), had a considerable beneficial influence on perceived value. Perceived complexity is the only component of perceived sacrifices that has a substantial negative influence on perceived value (β = -0.142, t = 2.758). In contrast, felt immersion (β = 0.059, t = 0.913), perceived expense (β = -0.020, t = 0.318), and perceived physical risk (β = -0.021, t = 0.350) were discovered to have no discernible impact on perceived value. Although the current study focused on a specific age group of clients, similar studies could be expanded in the future to include other groups with a variety of travel interests. The study’s results may aid tourism providers and marketers by indicating a direction in which they should concentrate their efforts and emphasise growing perceived benefits while minimising perceived sacrifices, because this would progressively but consistently boost profits.

In simplified optical correlation-domain reflectometry (OCDR) without the use of an electrical spectrum analyzer (ESA), the noise floor of the reflectivity distribution is distorted in long-range measurement, which sometimes causes significant errors in the distributed reflectivity measurement. Herein, we experimentally analyze the distorted noise floor by high-speed ESA-free OCDR and clarify the origin of the noise floor. Then we show that this noise floor can be compensated by appropriate filtering. Consequently, distributed reflectivity measurement over a 1.1 km long sensing fiber is properly performed at a repetition rate of 100 Hz.

Published: January 2023

The relevance of this study lies in appealing to the problem of developing one’s own microfield on the basis of the art history term feminist art. The article considers for the first time the specifics of the existence of feminist art in the terminology of art history. The purpose of this study is to determine the features of the functioning of feminist art in the art criticism terminological system. The basis of this study are the method of definitional analysis with elements of the semasiological method. In accordance with the put forward in the course of this study hypothesis, feminist art serves as the basis for the formation of a separate microfield within the art history terminological system. As a result, it was established that the term feminist art has a terminological potential — on the basis of this phrase, nomens are formed, as well as new components of the form of the concepts of art history terminology.
