Ο ρόλος των μέσων κοινωνικής δικτύωσης στην πρόθεση για νεοφυή επιχειρηματική δραστηριότητα
Authors: Μάλλιος Παναγιώτης
Published: July 2023

Η παρούσα διατριβή διερευνά τη συσχέτιση των μέσων κοινωνικής δικτύωσης - ΜΚΔ (social media) με τη διαμόρφωση επιχειρηματικών προθέσεων (entrepreneurial intention). Η έρευνα βασίζεται σε μια σειρά θεωριών και εμπειρικών μελετών από τη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία για τις επιχειρηματικές προθέσεις και τη γνωστική ψυχολογία και επικεντρώνεται στο αναπτυσσόμενο startup οικοσύστημα της Ελλάδας.Συγκεκριμένα, το προτεινόμενο εννοιολογικό πλαίσιο ενσωματώνει παράγοντες από τη Θεωρία της Σχεδιασμένης Συμπεριφοράς (Theory of Planned Behavior), το Μοντέλο Επιχειρηματικού Γεγονότος (Entrepreneurial Event Model), το Μοντέλο Αποδοχής της Τεχνολογίας (Technology Acceptance Model) και την Ενοποιημένη Θεωρία Αποδοχής και Χρήσης της Τεχνολογίας (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology), προκειμένου να αξιολογηθεί η επίδραση των ΜΚΔ στην πρόθεση για ενασχόληση με τη νεοφυή (startup) επιχειρηματικότητα. Η έρευνα έλαβε χώρα σε δύο στάδια, συνδυάζοντας κατά αυτόν τον τρόπο στοιχεία ποιοτικής και ποσοτικής μελέτης, αξιοποιώντας έτσι τα πλεονεκτήματα κάθε μεθόδου και χαρακτηρίζεται ως μικτή. Στην πρώτη φάση διεξήχθη ποιοτική μελέτη διεξάγοντας ημιδομημένες συνεντεύξεις με νεοφυείς επιχειρηματίες για τον καθορισμό του εννοιολογικού μοντέλου (conceptual model), αξιοποιώντας έτσι «retrospective» δεδομένα. Στη δεύτερη φάση διεξήχθη ποσοτική μελέτη σε τυχαίο δείγμα Ελλήνων νεοφυών επιχειρηματιών που συμμετέχουν με κάποια startup ή project ή ιδέα σε θερμοκοιτίδες επιχειρηματικότητας, επιταχυντές και διαγωνισμούς επιχειρηματικότητας, προκειμένου να γίνει στατιστική ανάλυση και έλεγχος των αρχικών υποθέσεων του εννοιολογικού πλαισίου με τη χρήση μοντελοποίησης διαρθρωτικών εξισώσεων - μοντέλα δομικών εξισώσεων (SEM). Τα αποτελέσματα της παρούσας έρευνας υποδεικνύουν ότι η χρήση των ΜΚΔ επηρεάζει την επιχειρηματική πρόθεση, μέσα από την επίδραση που ασκεί στις δύο προϋπάρχουσες μεταβλητές της, δηλαδή το πόσο εφικτό (feasibility) και το πόσο επιθυμητό (desirability) αντιλαμβάνεται κάποιος ότι είναι η ενασχόληση με την επιχειρηματικότητα, ενώ παράλληλα η χρήση τους διευκολύνει και υποβοηθά την επιχειρηματική δραστηριότητα εν γένει, αναπτύσσοντας νέα πρότυπα συμπεριφοράς. Η έρευνα ολοκληρώνεται με διεξοδική συζήτηση και συμπεράσματα για τη συνεισφορά των προαναφερθέντων αποτελεσμάτων, τόσο σε θεωρητικό όσο και σε πρακτικό επίπεδο.
Προστασία και διατήρηση οικοσυστημάτων εσωτε-ρικών υδάτων στην Ελλάδα. Η Οδηγία πλαίσιο για τους υδατικούς πόρους (2000/60/EC) και η οδηγία για τους οικοτόπους (92/43/EEC)

Τα εσωτερικά ύδατα ανήκουν στα πιο απειλούμενα οικοσυστήματα παγκοσμίως λόγω του μεγάλου φάσματος ανθρωπογενών πιέσεων που δέχονται. Σε Ευρωπαϊκό επίπεδο, τα οικοσυστήματα των εσωτερικών υδάτων προστατεύονται από την Οδηγία Πλαίσιο για τα Ύδατα (ΟΠΥ, 2000/60/ΕΟΚ), η οποία αποτέλεσε μία επανάσταση στο χώρο της περιβαλλοντικής διαχείρισης στην Ευρώπη. Παράλληλα, η εφαρμογή της ΟΠΥ εξυπηρετεί και τη διατήρηση της βιοποικιλότητας, δεδομένου ότι σημαντικές πτυχές της εφαρμογής της ικανοποιούν τις επιδιώξεις και τις απαιτήσεις των δύο μεγάλων κοινοτικών οδηγιών που στοχεύουν στη Φύση, την Οδηγία για τους Οικότοπους (1992/43/ΕΟΚ) και την Οδηγία για τα Πτηνά (2009/147/ΕΕ). Στην παρούσα μελέτη επιχειρείται η αξιολόγηση της υφιστάμενης κατάστασης, η διερεύνηση των εθνικών εξελίξεων και η προσέγγιση άλλων ευρωπαϊκών χωρών, στον τομέα της περιβαλλοντικής πολιτικής για την προστασία και διατήρηση των οικοσυστημάτων των εσωτερικών υδάτων. Επιπλεόν, δίνεται ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στην κριτική αποτίμηση των αποτελεσμάτων της εφαρμογής των Οδηγιών μετά την εναρμόνιση τους στο ελληνικό Δίκαιο.
The Four Necessities of Buddhist Monks: Patterns, Faiths, and Signs Changes in Luang Prabang, Laos
Authors: Chookaew Padsarath , Phoomalee Nongnuch , Apirating Preechawut
Published: July 2023

Luang Prabang was the early capital of the Laos PDR with national unification where the head of the state at that time was the monarchy, based on the Buddhist concept of centralization, and with the constitution based on Buddhist principles which originated from the belief that if the Lao leaders of any era were Buddhists, then there would be support for Buddhism and would bring prosperity and stability to Buddhism. Therefore, this research article aims to study the current condition of the Four Necessities of Buddhist Monks in Luang Prabang, Lao PDR. After being registered as a World Heritage City. This was a qualitative study by studying both documented data and fieldwork interviews with knowledgeable groups, practitioners, and relevant groups, and then analyzing the data descriptively using relevant theoretical framework analysis. The study found that when Luang Prabang was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage City in 1995, Luang Prabang became a world-class cultural tourism industry city, and its Buddhist roots remained. There was a preservation of patterns of life, culture, traditions, and unique traditional beliefs that had been handed down since the ancestors of the locals. After being registered as a World Heritage City, under the change of cultural traditions in Buddhism through merit-making by offering the Four Necessities of a Buddhist Monk, there is a practice that is currently focused on convenience and speed. Most of them are offered by you or purchased from stores available in Luang Prabang, with the main objective still continuing to offer Four Necessities to escape misfortune and create merit both for yourself in the present and in the next life.

ANALYZING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF VERBAL-VISUAL LEARNING STYLE RATING (VVLSR) USING EYE-TRACKING TECHNOLOGY
Authors: Alyahya Suzan
Published: July 2023

The study aims to analyze the effects of visual and verbal learning with the help of eye-tracking technology. A quantitative research design is adopted to assess verbal/visual performance using eye-tracking technology. The study recruited sixty-two students. The responses of participants were collected regarding the verbal-visual learning style rating (VVLSR). This study used eyetracking technology and assessed the verbal/visual performance of the participants. Fixation count on the map (FCm), Fixation count on the text (FCt), fixation duration on the map (FDm), and fixation duration on the text (FDt) were involved in the measures. Statistical analysis was performed through one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation. Data were gathered with
the Tobii X120 and collected with Tobii Studio. The findings revealed a significant relationship between text duration and verbal score (r = 0.543, p < 0.001). One-way ANOVA findings showed a significant impact of learning style on the visual test [F (2.59) = 6.26, p = 0.003]. No significa nt effect of learning style was reported on the verbal test [F (2.59) = 0.957, p = 0.390)]. The study has provided evidence of the effectiveness of visuals in multimedia learning environments. The participants' perceptions varied about the learning procedure. The study found a significant positive impact of using visual and verbal information for better learning and knowledge retention. In
the future, the VVLSR will add value to the research in applied cognitive psychology as it will help the psychologist to identify the effects of different verbal/visual learning styles via eye-tracking technology.
Relevancia de Colombia en el Pacífico
Authors: Zuluaga Carol
Published: July 2023

El dinamismo del sistema internacional exige al Estado tener una estrategia para asegurar su supervivencia y prosperidad. Muchas veces esta condición no se logra y se crea la percepción que algunos Estados tratan de sobrevivir a las coyunturas que se generan. Colombia, por muchas razones, pertenece a ese grupo. Por eso, cuando en el 2020 se presentó la política de ser potencia bioceánica sostenible para el 2030, se dio una muestra de querer reconfigurar las capacidades a unas más influyentes dentro del ámbito internacional. Sin embargo, su novedad requiere de un análisis para determinar si la estrategia propuesta por el gobierno es viable. Para ello, se realizará primero una línea teórica entre los siguientes pilares: poder, potencia y estrategia; luego, se procederá a relacionar los postulados de la política junto con la teoría; en tercera medida, se analizarán los ejes estratégicos para su ejecución y la comparación entre ambos océanos para determinar si el Pacífico puede ser la clave para lograr la condición de potencia bioceánica; y, finalmente, se terminará con un análisis de los actores del Pacífico que podrían representar una ventaja para Colombia junto con una propuesta para coadyuvar al objetivo de ser potencia bioceánica sostenible para el 2030.

The Influence of Individual, Environmental, Technology, and Manufacturing Factors on Iraqi Gas and Oil Companies
Authors: Agha Azwar M.Q. , Massoudi Aram H. , Zaidan Muslim N.
Published: July 2023

Implementation of agile technology and its effects on individuals, the environment, technology, and manufacturing factors are the focus of this study, with a special focus on agile technology's moderating effect. Consequently, this study investigates a unique conceptual framework to extend the notions of agile technology implementation in order to address this research gap. This conceptual framework has been subjected to empirical testing, with 380 population-representative employees serving as participants. This study establishes the inclusion requirements for Iraqi oil and gas firms. Using a self-administered questionnaire, data are collected and analyzed using structural equation modelling (PLS). The finding shows that there are various factors that have a positive effect on oil and gas companies in Iraq. The implementation of agile technology also has a partially significant positive moderating effect on these factors, indicating that agile technology can amplify the positive impact of these factors. This can lead to profits and the ability for companies to achieve long-term goals and a competitive advantage in the business environment while achieving sustainability in the oil and gas field. These findings are significant, as they suggest that the implementation of agile technology can have a positive impact on the oil and gas industry in Iraq, leading to long-term sustainability and profitability.

The article explores the issue of the international institutional mechanism of the universal and regional level in the field of combating environmental crime. The institutions created at the international universal and regional levels and their contribution to combating environmental crime are characterized, including: the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), within which specialized working groups in the field of combating environmental crime were created (Pollution Crime Working Group, Wildlife Crime Working Group, Forestry Crime Working Group, Fisheries Crime Working Group). The International Consortium on Combating Wildlife Crime (ICCWC), which promotes the strengthening of criminal justice systems and coordination of support at national, regional and international levels to combat wildlife and forest crime. The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol), which provides 24/7 operational support to Union law enforcement agencies in combating crime, including environmental crime. The European Multidisciplinary Platform Against Criminal Threats (EMPACT), whose mission is to disrupt criminal networks involved in all forms of environmental crime. European Network for Environmental Crime (EnviCrimeNet), which is a center of best practices in criminal cases related to this illegal area. The Lusaka Agreement Task Force, the main function of which is to facilitate the joint activities of the member states of the said agreement in conducting investigations of criminal acts in the field of illegal trade in wild fauna and flora.The role of non-governmental institutions in combating environmental crime is emphasized. In particular, attention is focused on the activities of Crime Stoppers International - an international non-profit organization that supports the efforts of law enforcement agencies to prevent and solve crimes: the Global Initiatives - an independent public organization that serves as a dialogue platform for broad discussions and innovative approaches in the fight against organized crime; International cooperation organization Hivos, bringing together people and organizations that offer alternatives to those seeking solutions in their struggle for social and environmental justice. Relevant conclusions were drawn.
Nuremberg Trial: problems of legitimacy
Authors: Ivzhenko D.A.
Published: July 2023

The article refers to the the concept and principles of Nuremberg Tribunal established after the World War II, as well to the three types of crimes established by the Charter. The author states that such crimes under general international law are based on the recognition of the need for criminal law protection of fundamental universal human values, regardless of whether the composition is reflected relevant crimes in the laws of the state in whose territory they were committed. This provision is reflected in the Charter of the Nuremberg tribunal dealing with crimes subject to its jurisdiction “whether or not these acts constituted a breach of internal the rights of the country where they were committed, or not” (paragraph “c” of article 6).The attention is also paid to the jurisdiction of the Tribunal. This, jurisdiction of the tribunal was extended to actions that took place in the past, and this required conceptual alignment with the maxim «nullum crimen, nulla poena sine praevia lege poenali».The article also deals with the issue of individual international criminal responsibility, as one of the means by which international law seeks to counter gross violations of human rights. It is reminded that, as of August 8, 1945 between the governments of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, The United States of America, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Provisional Government of the French Republic in London signed the Agreement on the Prosecution and Punishment of the Chief War Criminals of the European Axis countries, to which the Charter of the International Military Tribunal was annexed.It is stated that references to the retroactive application of criminal law have become one of the reasons for the doctrinal rejection of the Nuremberg precedent. Question about whether the adoption of the London Agreement and the Charter of the International Military Tribunal was an act of lawmaking, that is, whether they contained they are new legal rules that have been applied to the events that took place before they were adopted, have not yet found a clear solution.

In the view of Islamic teachings, everything must be done in an orderly, correct, and orderly manner. The processes must be followed properly and should not be done carelessly. Starting from the smallest matters such as managing household affairs to the largest matters such as managing the affairs of a country, all that requires good, precise and directed arrangements within the framework of a management so that the goals to be achieved can be achieved and can be completed efficiently and effectively. Quality Improvement Management which is a new paradigm for education management in Madrasahs has the principles (1) Quality improvement must be carried out in madrasah, (2) Quality improvement can only be carried out with good leadership, (3) Quality improvement must be based on good data and facts qualitative and quantitative in nature, (4) Quality improvement must empower and involve all elements in madrasah, and (5) Quality improvement has the aim that madrasah can provide satisfaction to students, parents and the community.In essence, the goal of educational institutions is to create and maintain customer satisfaction and in TQM customer satisfaction is determined by the educational institution's stakeholders. Because it is only by understanding the process and customer satisfaction that an organization can realize and value quality. All efforts management in TQM must be directed at a main goal, namely customer satisfaction, what management does is useless if it does not create customer satisfaction.

In Make It 16 Incorporated vs. the Attorney-General, 21 November 2022, the Supreme Court of New Zealand ruled that existing legislation that does not allow people to vote in elections before the age of 18 is discriminatory because it is inconsistent with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990, which guarantees citizens freedom from age discrimination after the age of 16. The New Zealand Supreme Court has issued a declaration of incompatibility in this regard. However, this does not oblige either the government or parliament to lower the voting age.

У статті проведено аналіз проблемних питань, що виникають під час участі прикордонних підрозділів у виконанні завдань, пов’язаних з обороною держави, у складі сил оборони та знижують ефективність взаємодії. За результатами аналізу історичного досвіду участі прикордонників у війнах та збройних конфліктах зроблено висновки, що відсутність усталених доктринальних положень щодо їх застосування у війнах та збройних конфліктах на практиці незмінно призводила до їх збільшення під час військових конфліктів порівняно з планованими в передвоєнний період; на період воєнних дій завдання прикордонникам, як правило, не було сформульовано і це призводило до того, що з початком воєнних дій завдання їм ставилися спонтанно, без урахування бойових можливостей і специфіки підготовки; на початковому етапі практично всіх війн і збройних конфліктів спостерігалась слабка взаємодія між армійським і прикордонним командуванням, у результаті чого прикордонні формування часто перебували у подвійному підпорядкуванні, що значно знижувало ефективність їхнього застосування. Історичний досвід застосування прикордонних підрозділів у війнах, збройних конфліктах вплинув на теорію і практику забезпечення безпеки державного кордону та розвиток прикордонного відомства. З урахуванням загроз у воєнній сфері було зроблено важливі висновки та проведено певні заходи з покращення бойової спроможності Державної прикордонної служби. На жаль, виявлені проблемні питання та прорахунки не було усунуто в повному обсязі. Цей висновок підтверджує сучасний досвід застосування прикордонних підрозділів під час проведення антитерористичної операції, операції Об’єднаних сил та досвід їхньої участі у відбитті повномасштабної збройної агресії росії на територію України. Зокрема, збройна агресія росії проти України викрила недоліки в реформуванні прикордонного відомства і прогалини у нормативно-правових актах у сфері  оборони держави, що призводить до того, що сьогодні прикордонне відомство має коло невирішених проблем з питань забезпечення безпеки ДК і участі в обороні держави. У статті порушено зазначені проблемні питання та можливі шляхи їх вирішення. Зазначене дозволить: розподілити функції (завдання), повноваження та відповідальність між складовими сил оборони; виключити дублювання функцій (завдань), чітко розмежувати їхні сфери дій; підвищити обґрунтованість і оперативність прийняття рішень на застосування сил оборони; забезпечити чітке і безперервне управління силами оборони, організацію та підтримання між ними безперервної взаємодії.

Introduction: Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) are common adverse drug reactions (ADR) experienced by children undergoing treatment for cancer. New paediatric ADR Assessment Causality and Avoidability tools (LCAT and LAAT) of Liverpool are suitable for categorizing factors related to ADR prevention and improving patient care. Still, no studies to date have compared the utility and results of its application for CINV in countries with different levels of development. Objective: To investigate the utility of the Liverpool Adverse Drug Reaction Causality and Avoidability Assessment Tools (LCAT and LAAT) in assessing CINV in children. Method: Prospective observational study of CINV assessment in children aged 4 to 16 years from Alder Hey Children’s Hospital (Liverpool, UK) and “Instituto de Puericultura e Pediatria Martagão Gesteira” (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Children (helped by the parents) completed a symptom diary during chemotherapy and for 24 hours after treatment. Information regarding underlying diagnosis, past medical history, and medications administered was collected from the patient record. Case reports were prepared, and the temporal relationship between nausea and vomiting and exposure to chemotherapy, including any strategy to prevent CINV, was recorded. The causality and avoidability were assessed with LCAT and LAAT, respectively. Results: There were 26 reports of CINV in 36 chemotherapy cycles. The causality assessment was ‘definite’ for 24 cases. Twenty ADRs were deemed ‘definitely avoidable’ and four ‘not avoidable’. Selection of inappropriate therapeutic options and non-administration of antiemetic were the most common factors observed in the hospitals studied. Conclusion: The LCAT and LAAT were helpful for assessing CINV in children in two different hospitals.

Published: July 2023

Delays in road and bridge construction projects pose significant challenges within the construction industry. These delays can be attributed to various risk factors that have the potential to disrupt project timelines. This study focuses on identifying the risk factors that contribute to delays in road and bridge construction projects in the Pemalang district. A comprehensive review of relevant literature was conducted to identify these risk factors, which were then incorporated into questionnaires distributed among contractors, owners, and consultants. The questionnaire data was analyzed using the mean score ranking method, along with validity and reliability tests, and descriptive statistical analysis facilitated by the SPSS program. The research findings unveiled a total of 54 risk factors categorized into 11 distinct categories. Among these, the top 10 causes of delays in road and bridge construction projects in the Pemalang district were identified based on mean values ranging from 4.18 to 4.57. These factors encompassed issues such as shortages of construction materials (4.57), delays in goods delivery (4.48), equipment delivery delays (4.40), difficulties in contractor funding (4.37), inadequate workforce or inability to meet project demands (4.37), rainfall intensity (4.35), poor material quality (4.30), ordering time inaccuracies (4.27), insufficient skilled labor (4.23), and equipment damage (4.18). Furthermore, interviews were conducted with experts to discuss the 10 risk factors with the highest impact. Strategies to mitigate these risks were derived from these discussions. The outcomes of this research are anticipated to provide valuable insights for stakeholders involved in the planning and execution of road and bridge construction projects. By understanding the underlying risk factors and implementing the recommended strategies, it is expected that project delays can be significantly reduced in future endeavors.

Authors: Lima Kamila Rose Alves Sudre , Alves Maria Gabriela Ferreira , Dias Thalyta Viana , Rasera Jr Irineu
Published: July 2023

Introdução: O sobrepeso e a obesidade estão se tornando um problema crescente entre os povos indígenas, havendo evidências de taxas mais elevadas em comparação com a população em geral. Logo o objetivo deste estudo é analisar a prevalência de obesidade em populações indígenas da região norte do Brasil. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura que utilizou artigos em português e inglês indexados nas bases de dados PUBMED, SciELO e Google Acadêmico. Os critérios de exclusão foram aplicados para remover artigos que não abordavam o tema da pesquisa e outros tipos de publicações, como editoriais, revisões de literatura e meta-análises. Resultados: Foram selecionados 6 artigos, sendo 1 do tipo coorte prospectiva e os outros 5 do tipo transversal. A maioria da população estudada era composta por indígenas da Amazônia, seguidos pelos grupos de diferentes estados do Brasil. Discussão: As carências nutricionais são um problema alimentar comum entre os povos indígenas, muitas vezes acompanhadas por obesidade e problemas metabólicos. A desnutrição infantil é especialmente alarmante, com altas taxas de anemia e atraso no crescimento. Populações em diferentes regiões do Brasil têm apresentado índices elevados de sedentarismo, obesidade e sobrepeso, mas algumas tribos como a Wari' não apresentam alta prevalência de obesidade. Conclusão: Os estudos sobre saúde nutricional dos povos indígenas na região norte do Brasil mostram heterogeneidade entre as etnias. Novas pesquisas são necessárias para compreender as causas dessas diferenças e devem ser realizadas em colaboração com as comunidades indígenas para formulação de políticas de saúde adequadas às suas necessidades.
Differences in help-seeking behaviour between men and women with multiple pelvic floor symptoms: a qualitative study
Authors: Wesseldijk Kim Groot , van Reemst Hannah , Horst Ellen ter , Vries Grietje Knol-de , Blanker Marco
Published: July 2023

Background

Pelvic floor symptoms, such as lower urinary tract symptoms, defecation problems, sexual dysfunction, pelvic pain, and pelvic organ prolapse in females, are common and frequently co-occur. Despite negatively affecting quality of life, few patients seek help. Most studies assessing help-seeking behaviour have focused on a single pelvic floor symptom.

Aim

We aimed to explore the barriers and facilitators of help-seeking behaviour in males and females with at least two pelvic floor symptoms.

Method

This interview study included participants based on age and symptoms (number and type) from a larger group taking part in a survey on pelvic floor symptoms in the general population. Two researchers independently encoded and analysed the semi-structured interviews, continuing until saturation for both the male and female cohorts.

Results

Of the 25 participants (13 male, 12 female), 9 sought help for all of their pelvic floor symptoms, 10 did not seek help for any symptom, and 6 sought help for some of their pelvic floor symptoms. We identified themes in domains related to the patient, healthcare professional, environment, and symptom. Although most themes applied to both males and females, some had greater sex specificity.

Conclusion

Males and females have more similarities than differences in help-seeking behaviour. Healthcare providers should be aware that patients who seek help for one symptom probably have multiple pelvic floor symptoms that the patient has not reported.

To map activities to improve end-of-life care undertaken by GP practices, including the implementation of the Daffodil Standards.

Method

An online survey (Phase 1) has been made available to all GP practices in the UK to capture end-of-life care activities, experiences and challenges. Those who have signed up to receive guidance about the Daffodil Standards are also asked about their experiences of implementation and impact. Alongside this, a sub-sample of the survey responders are invited to take part in a semi-structured interview (n=20–26) to identify processes and mechanisms of implementation (Phase 2). This project is informed by the Normalisation Process Theory (NPT). Descriptive statistics (survey) and Framework Analysis (survey, interviews) are used to analyse the data.

Results

Sixty-eight surveys, of which 41% (n=28/68) had signed up to the Daffodil Standards, and five semi-structured interviews have been completed to date. Recruitment to both the survey and interviews is ongoing. The preliminary results of Phases 1 and 2 will be available for presentation in March 2023.

Conclusion

The results will be used to inform and refine the design illustrative case studies to capture best available learning and identify exemplars of best practice for later phases of the study.

Authors: Maria Eduarda Lima Costa  , Letícia de Alencar Pereira Rodrigues  , Maira dos Santos Silva
Published: July 2023

Cryopreservation is a freezing technique that prevents the microorganism’s genetic material from carrying out possible reactivations. This method commonly requires cryoprotectants to minimize the possible damage that freezing can cause. The current article seeks to evaluate the efficiency and viability of cryopreservation of fungi from the genus Candida, aiming at the best technique. The method was based on searching articles related to the analyzed theme and their ratifications. Thus, with the bibliographic survey, it was possible to conclude the most executable method among the three most used.

Economic Consequences of Coalition Between the First World and Third World in the Play Harvest by Manjula Padmanabhan
Authors: - R. Muthuselvi
Published: July 2023

The globe is striving to accomplish this achievement through Information and Communications Technology (ICT), which has increased and narrowed all boundaries worldwide. It has highlighted the disparities in development rates around the globe and is further increasing the interests of developed countries, which are the main actors in globalization. As a result, it has sparked various responses from concerned intellectuals. Since then, it has distorted the cultures and arts of the world's economically disadvantaged countries. This paper investigates India's Manjula's play Harvest using the analytical, theoretical framework as a true reflection of the tendencies of this widely recognized phenomenon, yet a very exploitative, oppressive, and marginalizing practice that will soon bring these weaker nations to their knees. This paper highlights the distinction between "global consciousness" and "global consensus." The globe is experiencing some discomfort, which is one of the impacts. In this paper, Manjula Padmanaban in her play, The Harvest, distinguishes between two ideological perspectives - that of the 'root of all evil' and that of 'the political and social arrangements'.

Quantitative Management of Business Disbursements by Portfolio Optimization
Authors: Stoilov Todor , Stoilova Krasimira
Published: July 2023

The paper aims to solve the problem of reallocating financial payments between disbursements and outflows by increasing the efficiency of working capital. The reallocation of financial payments is a different case from the reallocation of investments. The disbursements can be regarded as a set of assets, which generate negative returns in comparison with the assets in the portfolio theory. The purpose of this study is to derive a formal model, which gives quantitative solutions for the reallocation of resources between disbursements. Thus, the disbursements can indirectly influence positively the business profit of an economic entity. The reallocation of payments between a set of disbursements can improve the financial outcome of a business entity. Such redistribution plays an important role in the business management of the manufacturing units. The paper derives a quantitative model for the assessment and decision-making payment redistribution between payments. The quantitative solution is based on the application of a portfolio model. The latter is modified by minimizing disbursements in the portfolio problem. The empirical application of this model is applied to dairy farm payment management cases. Comparisons applied to the model with the actual set of payments show that the derived model is better at reducing the total values of the disbursements.

Rethinking Biopolitics in the Anthropocene. Foucault, Esposito, and the Political Physiology of Social Metabolisms
Authors: Coronel Tarancón Alberto
Published: July 2023

Michel Foucault and Roberto Esposito have been two of the most influential biopolitical thinkers of the twentieth century, but their respective approaches to the relationship between life and politics do not address the main problem of the Anthropocene: the relationship between life and energy. Thus, this article analyzes the biophysical limits of biopolitics in the works of Foucault and Roberto Esposito and, to overcome these limits, it proposes to analyze the physiological assembly of the devices of power within the energetic flows of social metabolisms. The article concludes that the physio-political approach to human societies allows us to overcome the biophysical limits of both Foucauldian biopolitics and Esposito's immunological paradigm.

Demolition or retention of buildings: drivers at the masterplan scale
Authors: Baker Hannah , Moncaster Alice , Wilkinson Sara J. , Remøy Hilde
Published: July 2023

Current adaptation theory tends to consider individual buildings or the city level, which cannot address decisions related to masterplan developments on large brownfield sites. This paper investigates the drivers for building demolition or retention and adaptation decisions at the masterplan scale. Expert interviews and three case studies are used to explore how and why decisions to demolish, or to retain and adapt, are made at this scale. The research compared three different geopolitical contexts: Cambridge in the UK; Eindhoven in the Netherlands; and Sydney in Australia. Additional factors and complexities that should be considered at the masterplan scale are identified. The theoretical underpinnings of urban development processes are used to explain these complexities in relation to four existing models and demonstrate that no one model is adequate to describe the interactions. With increasing awareness of climate change impacts, it is critical that demolition decisions on masterplan developments are reviewed in the light of retaining carbon as well as heritage.
Practice relevance
This research demonstrates the different and specific concerns applying to demolition and retention on masterplan scale sites compared with the individual building scale. Although the evidence shows that decisions are context specific, the criteria as identified and categorised within this research offer a useful tool for stakeholders when establishing their priorities and approaches to decisions to demolish or retain and adapt within a masterplan context. This should help to avoid contested decisions and can help community groups hoping to have an influence over the long-term decisions, as well as developers looking to retain good relationships with the local community. The identified criteria can support planners and local authorities responsible for approving masterplan developments to better understand the factors relevant to each decision, including the importance of retaining flexibility throughout to enable response to changing circumstances.
