Published: October 2024

Objective: This article aims to investigate the impact of digital transformation on new product development (NPD) with the mediating role of organizational intelligence. Methods and Materials: The research employs a descriptive-correlational design, utilizing questionnaires and field studies to collect data from 100 experts in the rubber manufacturing industry, specifically from Barez and Artavil Tire companies. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to assess the validity of the questionnaire, with structural equation modeling (SEM) conducted using Smart PLS software to test the hypotheses. The reliability and validity of the constructs were evaluated through composite reliability (CR), average variance extracted (AVE), and discriminant validity measures. Findings: The study found that digital transformation significantly affects NPD performance (path coefficient = 0.586, t-value = 9.849), and organizational intelligence strongly mediates this relationship (path coefficient = 0.817, t-value = 12.838). Additionally, digital transformation directly enhances organizational intelligence (path coefficient = 0.296, t-value = 2.865). The R² value for NPD was 0.717, and for organizational intelligence, it was 0.688, indicating strong explanatory power. Conclusion: Digital transformation significantly impacts NPD success, particularly when supported by high levels of organizational intelligence. Companies that invest in digital infrastructure and knowledge management systems are better equipped to handle the complexities of NPD, leading to more innovative and competitive products. Organizational intelligence serves as a key enabler in leveraging digital tools for successful product development.
The Strategic Renewal Model of Organizations Under Environmental Uncertainty (Case Study: Startup Organizations in the Payment Industry)
Authors: Khashei Vahid , Askari Reza
Published: October 2024

The concept of strategy is intertwined with environmental uncertainty. In fact, strategic management can be seen as a systematic approach to dealing with environmental turbulence and changes, ultimately ensuring business success and preventing the negative consequences of environmental changes in business. Therefore, many researchers and managers seek solutions to reduce the impact of uncertainty in order to make effective strategic decisions. Among the various methods that managers choose to manage environmental uncertainty, strategic renewal is considered one of the most effective approaches. Some businesses, such as payment startups, face greater environmental uncertainties due to the nascent nature of the industry on one hand and the nascent state of the organization on the other. The strategic management literature does not provide a comprehensive solution for the strategic renewal of nascent businesses. Hence, this study, using the case study research method and focusing on an active startup in the payment industry, aims to propose a model for the strategic renewal of payment startups operating in environments with high uncertainty. This research revealed that among environmental factors, certain factors lead to increased environmental uncertainty for startup businesses. Additionally, in this model, the components of the strategic renewal process, as well as the outcomes and consequences of implementing strategic renewal in these businesses, have been identified.

Published: October 2024

The objective of this review is to explore the importance of financial support for professional athletes in competitive sports. This article is a narrative review utilizing a descriptive analysis of existing literature on the subject of financial support in professional sports. Data sources included peer-reviewed articles, reports, and industry publications, focusing on studies that explore the role of sponsorships, financial models, and policy frameworks. Relevant findings were synthesized to provide a comprehensive analysis of the current state and future directions of athlete financial support. Financial support is critical for enhancing athlete performance and ensuring long-term career sustainability. Athletes who receive stable financial backing have better access to training, recovery, and mental health resources, allowing them to focus on their athletic development. However, disparities in financial support across different sports, genders, and regions remain significant challenges. Emerging models, such as fan-funded platforms and blockchain solutions, offer promising alternatives to traditional sponsorships, suggesting a more equitable future for athlete funding. The review concludes that while financial support is indispensable for athletes, the current system is marked by inequities. To promote fairness and sustainability in competitive sports, stakeholders must adopt innovative financial models and implement policies that ensure equal access to resources. Embracing these changes will lead to a more inclusive and supportive financial ecosystem for athletes globally.

Authors: Karimi Arman , Saketi Parviz , Hadizadeh Arash
Published: October 2024

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered the main drivers of economic development, and financial and technical support for them can have significant impacts on overall economic flows. Banks, as the primary arm for financing and credit provision to businesses, play an indispensable role in this regard. Thus, the primary objective of this study is twofold: first, to propose a model for national banks’ support aimed at fostering entrepreneurial behavior in SMEs, and second, to examine the significance and prioritization of key factors influencing banks' supportive role in developing entrepreneurial behavior in SMEs. To achieve this, the study utilized expert opinions from a panel of seven specialists in economics and banking from West Azerbaijan province for the qualitative section, and 464 managers from banks (specifically Sepah Bank) and SMEs in the province for the quantitative section. Data collection tools included semi-structured interviews for the qualitative phase and a researcher-made questionnaire for the quantitative phase. For data analysis and identifying influencing factors regarding banks' support for the development of entrepreneurial behavior in SMEs, thematic analysis and MAXQDA software were employed. Additionally, quantitative data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling and AMOS software. The qualitative findings revealed that a total of 82 primary themes, organized into 14 organizing themes, can be identified in the context of banks' role in supporting the development of entrepreneurial behavior in SMEs. In the quantitative section, the significance and prioritization of causal, intervening, and contextual factors were examined. The results also demonstrated how the entrepreneurial behaviors of SMEs can either advance or stagnate based on banks' behaviors.

Drivers of Electric Vehicle Adoption in Nigeria
Authors: Ajao Qasim , Sadeeq Lanre , Sadiq Oluwatobi Oluwaponmile
Published: October 2024

Electric vehicles (EVs) represent a significant advancement in automotive technology, utilizing electricity as a power source in place of traditional fossil fuels and incorporating sophisticated navigation and autopilot systems. These vehicles align with multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by offering a more environmentally sustainable alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). Despite their potential, the adoption of EVs in developing nations such as Nigeria remains constrained. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework is expanded in this study by including important enablers such as poor infrastructure, problems with affordability, and government support in the broader category of facilitating conditions. Additionally, it scrutinizes variables such as trust, performance expectations, social influences, and network externalities to identify the primary determinants influencing Nigerian consumers' propensity to adopt EVs. Results show that the percentage increase of H6 (facilitating conditions → behavioral intentions) compared to H5 (network externalities → behavioral intentions) is approximately 32.35%, indicating that traditional drivers significantly influence individuals' willingness to purchase EVs and are particularly strong factors in adoption decisions. The paper concludes with a discussion of these findings and proposes strategies for future research to further explore the barriers and drivers of EV adoption in Nigeria.

Authors: Morikawa Anu
Published: October 2024

Useat viimeaikaiset tutkimukset ovat nostaneet esiin huolen opiskelijoiden hyvinvoinnista. Yksinäisyys, mielenterveyden haasteet ja lisääntynyt uupumisriski ovat osaltaan vaikuttaneet opiskelijoiden jaksamiseen ja kokonaisvaltaiseen hyvinvointiin. Keskusteluun linkittyy myös pohdinnat elämän merkityksellisyydestä, identiteetin rakentumisesta sekä olemassaolosta. Tätä kokonaisuutta kutsutaan eksistentiaaliseksi hyvinvoinniksi. Se tarkoittaa elämän tarkoituksen, omien ihmissuhteiden, kokemusten ja eletyn elämän merkityksen ymmärrystä, pohdintaa ja prosessointia. Artikkelissani keskityn kysymykseen eksistentiaalisesta hyvinvoinnista ja sen tuesta oppilaitoksissa. Tutkimustehtävänäni selvitän mitkä tekijät muodostavat eksistentiaalisen hyvinvoinnin tuen kirkon oppilaitostyöntekijöiden näkökulmasta. Tutkimukseni aineisto koostuu eri oppilaitoksissa työskentelevien kirkon työntekijöiden laadullisesta kyselystä (27 vastaajaa). Analyysimenetelmänä käytän temaattista sapluuna-analyysia. Analyysini perusteella eksistentiaalisen hyvinvoinnin tuki oppilaitoksessa hahmottui merkityksellisyyden kokemuksen vahvistamisena ja toteutui kolmen pääteeman: monipuolisen asiantuntijuuden, inklusiivisuuden ymmärryksen ja eksistentiaaisen hyvinvoinnin tuen työkalujen kautta.

Authors: Lu Zhiting
Published: October 2024

Kindergarten teachers' guidebooks play an important role as a medium for teachers to carry out educational activities and guide children's learning and development. However, at present, kindergartens do not set specific selection criteria and evaluation standards when selecting teachers' guidebooks, and the issuance and selection of teachers' guidebooks are characterised by arbitrariness. Excellent teacher guidebooks should have the values of "re-selecting excellent culture", "reflecting the integrity of the elements of the five areas", "containing the concept of curriculum reform in the new era", and so on. An in-depth analysis of their values will help teachers to improve their training. An in-depth analysis of these values will help teachers to improve their pedagogical concepts and make teachers play their proper roles.

Authors: Abdullah Thara Hussein , Saheb Hussein Ali
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Patients with type 2 had elevated levels of inflammatory biomarkers, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α). Significant elevations in serum levels of TNF-α and C-reactive protein were seen in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The IL-1 superfamily (IL-1β, IL-18, and IL-33) plays a crucial role in the development of diabetes mellitus by modifying immunological and inflammatory immune responses. Objectives: Little is known about the role of metformin in type 2 diabetes mellitus with respect to serum levels of IL-33 and ST-2 receptors. Therefore, in the present study, we sought toexplore such role. Patients and Methods: This single arm study included 45 type 2 diabetes patients with an age range of 30 to less than 60 years. Patients were given metformin (500 mg orally; for two months then, serum level of interleukin- 33 (IL-33) and ST-2 receptors were evaluated. Results: Treatment resulted in significant reduction of serum the suppression of tumorigenicity suppressor 2 (ST2) from 0.71 ±0.157 µg/mlto 0.59 ±0.11 µg/ml (p<0.001), across with significant increase in serum IL-33 from 0.60 ±0.18 pg/ml to 0.75 ±0.13 pg/ml (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus using metformin revealed a crucial role for IL-33 and ST-2 receptors in glycemic control since increment in IL-33 and reduction in ST-2 receptors were associated with good glycemic control suggesting an inflammatory role in disease pathogenesis and response to treatment.

Authors: Ahmed Rawa Azad , Al-dabbagh Dr. Abdulhameed , Fadhel Dr. Rekawt
Published: October 2024

Background: Answering the question of “which modality and combination is having the upper handy?”  in bleeding control during rhinoplasty surgery through controlled hypotension achieved by administering anesthesia with two different inhalation agents: sevoflurane or isoflurane, both in combination with remifentanil. Numerous studies and articles are published annually, yet the wider question regarding the efficacy of each formula has remained unaddressed.
Methods: This prospective observational study utilized convenient sampling with a total of 100 patients undergoing rhinoplasty. Participants were divided into two groups: one receiving remifentanil combined with sevoflurane and the other receiving remifentanil combined with isoflurane. Controlled hypotension was achieved and monitored throughout the procedure.
Results: Both anesthesia combinations effectively achieved controlled hypotension and created a dry operative field. Notably, the sevoflurane/remifentanil combination resulted in a faster onset of decreased heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) within the first 40 minutes of the procedure compared to the isoflurane/remifentanil combination.
Conclusion: The study demonstrated that both sevoflurane/remifentanil and isoflurane/remifentanil combinations are effective in controlling bleeding during rhinoplasty. Sevoflurane/remifentanil showed a quicker initial effect on cardiovascular parameters, but both protocols successfully met the primary goal of minimizing bleeding and enhancing surgical visibility.

Background: Reproduction is a intricately structured process achieved by interaction of the higher centers in the brain, the gonads, and different body parts; Whereas infertility is a multifactorial pathological condition affecting approximately 10–15% of couples, especially in industrialized region.RESOLVIN E1 is a member of specialized pro resolving mediator family of bio active lipids. It has anti-inflammatory effects in various inflammatory diseases. A promising researches in their way to prove its positive role in reproduction through direct effect on folliculogenesis. It has a fundamental role in regulating follicular growth and maturation at central and peripheral levels highlighting its possible role in diagnosing and treating infertility problems. High level of RESOLVIN E1 which might play critical role in poly cystic ovarian syndrome due to its anti-inflammatory effects. Objectives: To investigate the correlation of serum and follicular RESOLVIN E1 to gonadotropin (recombinant FSH doses) in PCOS patient undergoing ICSI.  Subject, Patients, Materials, and Method: A prospective cross-sectional study conducted in the high institute for infertility diagnosis and assisted reproductive technology /Al Nahrain University /Baghdad /Iraq, from November 2023 till March 2024. Twenty-nine infertile PCOS women who were undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection were enrolled in the study. Serum and follicular RESOLVIN E1 at day of oocyte pickup were measured using ELISA technique. Results: The current study shows significantly lower gonadotropins stimulation dose needed for PCOS females (p <0.001). It also revealed no significant correlations between total gonadotropins dose with both serum and follicular fluids resolvin E1, while there were insignificant negative correlations between serum and follicular fluids resolvin E1 with patients’ ages and body mass indices among PCOS females. Conclusions: There is no correlation between the serum and follicular RvE1 levels in PCOS  infertile females.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogen bacterium that may cause infection and is commonly found in fish, plants, animals, soil, and water. The abundance of fish and seafood contributes to the seafood sector's economic importance. Several nations rely on the abundance of fish and seafood to support their economies. The objective of this study is to isolate P. aeruginosa and investigate its phylogenic similarity and sequencing to that of referred isolates taken from fresh fish (Cyprinus carpio) and marine (Hammour). One hundred and twenty raw fish samples were gathered from the local marketplaces in Al-Diwaniya City. The isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa were grown on selective agar, such as chrome-genic pseudomonas agar and cetrimide agar, then identified using microbiology. and biochemical testing. According to the findings the result of PCR detection 16SrRNA gene (21.6%), Las B (5.4%),Oprl gene (4.6%).  Furthermore, a phylogenic tree was established to identify the genetic proximity of different species of the eight isolate gene sequencings, the following GenBank accession numbers were determined and submitted: PP534998, PP534999, PP535000, PP53501, PP535002, PP535003, PP535004, and PP535006. The results showed that the isolation rate of P. aeruginosa in local carp was (28%) higher than the rate of isolates from marine fish (9%) when employing PCR. P. aeruginosa isolates exhibited high similarity (96%) for strains isolated from the United States, followed by (88%) for strains isolated from Iraq, and a lower similarity percentage (55%) with other strains recovered from the United States. In conclusion, the PCR is a reliable tool for molecularly detecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa that infected both local carp.
