Abstract. This study analyzes the ability to manage EI (Emotional Intelligence) in university students from Colombia and Spain who practice relaxation techniques. Bivariate correlations were carried out between the study variables, sex, country of origin, the practice of relaxation techniques and their absence, and three EI factors. For the research, 285 university students were surveyed. The instrument used was the TMMS adapted (Trait Meta-Mood Scale) questionnaire. For the analysis of the results, T Student tests were carried out for independent samples, evidencing that, both in clarity and in repair with reference to sex, men reflected higher scores and in terms of country of origin, Colombian students reflected higher scores than the Spanish students. A Chi-square analysis was implemented to find out the differences between practicing or not practicing relaxation techniques taking into account gender, evidencing that these are more prevalent among men than among women and in terms of country, these are more frequent among Colombian students. The research showed that practicing or not practicing a relaxation technique is not related to any of the factors of emotional intelligence.

Sport in the military context: A national and international analysis from the perspective of sport management
Authors: Coelho Teixeira Mário , Gonçalo Diogo , Segui-Urbaneja Jordi , Dionísio Sesinando André
Published: June 2023

The regular practice of sport is today fully accepted as a condition for a more active life and healthier habits, as well as for a balanced physical and emotional well-being, assuming greater relevance in the military context and in the world peace between nations, where physical and psychological preparedness assumes special importance. The research aimed to explore military sport by analysing its main international characteristics, as well as to identify the socio-demographic profile of military personnel in the Portuguese Armed Forces, their sports practice habits and opinion about the development of military sport in Portugal. Methodologically, it is a quantitative-descriptive study of an exploratory nature, in which, in addition to the research of several official documents, a questionnaire was applied to military personnel about their sportive habits, obtaining 566 valid answers. The results show a high number of member countries (n=140) in the organisation of international military sport, as well as sport disciplines developed (n=38) and participants in the events held, contrasting with a not very significant Portuguese participation. The main reasons are: (a) insufficient support for athletes; (b) infrastructures that do not offer the best training conditions; and (c) insufficient recognition by military institutions. Regarding the sport routines, it was found that 19.6% do not practice any physical activity at all. We conclude that despite the interest in participating in military sporting events, the portuguese military personnel reported the need for greater investment and promotion to encourage their participation. The need for greater openness from the military institutions themselves is another of the reasons mentioned for strengthening their training conditions and recognising the potential of military sport.

Family Business Literature Overview: Towards Achieving Family Business Growth
Authors: Shumbambiri Gregory , Mwenje Dr Judith
Published: June 2023

Businesses which are predominantly owned and managed by a family are commonly referred to as family businesses. This study’s objectives are to examine the definition and characteristics of family businesses, evaluation of the uniqueness and theoretical framework of family businesses literature and the nature of family business growth. Family businesses are unique from non-family businesses, in how they grow, financial strength, wealth safeguarding and their risk appetite. The most rational perspective is what might be used to emphasize the uniqueness of family businesses and how it connects to stakeholder management’s standpoint. Family businesses have become a significant and vital segment of a country’s economy through their contribution to job creation, poverty alleviation and sustainable development. Family-owned businesses in industrialised economies, on average, outpace other types of businesses, with family-owned businesses involving 80–90% of all businesses in North America and provide jobs for between 50 and 75 percent of the world’s labour force. Evidence from sub –Saharan Africa suggests that more than 90% of businesses which are not owned by the governments are family businesses. Growing a family business is not a one-sided process because it can depend on current business and family concerns. A successful organization and the creation of additional employment possibilities for its members from one generation to the next are both possible outcomes of family company growth. However, some family businesses purposefully avoid expanding out of concern for losing control of the enterprise. The literature review has shown that family businesses grow more slowly than non-family businesses on average due to lack of incorporating new entrants leading to lack of new ideas which is detrimental to a company growth. Other factors for the slower growth of family businesses in comparison to non-family businesses include their traditional strategies, insufficient financial strength, safeguarding of their wealth and risk appetite with a tendency toward risk aversion. According to the studies done in Sweden family businesses, the results from the literature review have also shown that family businesses grow much more slowly than non-family businesses do in both urban and rural areas.

Biotechnological valorization of sugar beet wastes into value-added products
Authors: MAKAMBAİ KYZY Azhar , MAZHİTOVA Aichurok
Published: June 2023

The sugar beet processing in the sugar production industry releases huge amounts of sugar beet pulp, lime residue, and molasses, which can be considered a valuable by-product as a source of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. Sugar beet pulp is often used as a high-energy, low-protein supplement for ruminants to promote optimal rumen health and increase milk production. However, it cannot be used in large quantities and is thrown away, causing environmental pollution. Valorizing sugar beet processing wastes via biotechnological approaches into value-added products is cost-effective and eco-friendly. In this article, recent developments in the biotechnological valorization of sugar beet byproducts to produce biofuels, bioethanol, butanol, biomass and platform chemicals such as gluconic acid, lactic acid, rhamnolipid biosurfactant, and endo-polygalacturonase were reviewed, and the methods provide a way to save the environment. Several sugar beet processing plants in the Kyrgyz Republic can offer these methods as a roadmap for value-added production.

Published: June 2023

Accurately determining the composition of essential and toxic elements in commercial infant formulas is critical to ensuring safe nutrition for infants. In this study, the concentrations of essential and toxic elements (Pb, Ni, Cd, Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Co) in infant formulas were determined using high-resolution continuum-source flame atomic absorption spectrometry (HR-CS FAAS) and have been evaluated for health risk. The measured values for concentrations from lowest to highest were (in mg/kg): 36.38–77.45 (Zn), 6.28–12.88 (Al), 2.37–4.91 (Cu), 22.01–51.64 (Fe), and 0.55–2.06 (Mn). The highest concentrations of Ni and Cd were 0.18 and 0.09 mg/kg, respectively, while the lowest concentrations for these metals were below the detection limit. The Cr, Co and Pb levels were below the detection limits in all samples. According to the risk assessment conducted for infants aged 0–24 months, which involved calculating the estimated daily intake (EDI), the estimated weekly intake (EWI), the target hazard quotient (THQ), and the hazard index (HI), it was found that the THQ values range from 0.00 to 0.06 for Ni, from 0.00 to 0.69 for Cd, and from 0.17 to 0.22 for Al. However, since the HI for all age groups is less than 1, it can be concluded that there is no health concern for the elements Ni, Cr, Cd, Pb, Al, and Co.

The aim of this study is to examine the development process of education management in our country and the characteristics of the teaching profession. Education is one of the elements that is impossible if not for the development of a state. In this and other areas, very important duties fall to those who perform duties as teachers. The teacher profession is a specialized profession that has undertaken the task of preparing a nation for tomorrow. It is also the teachers who equip a person according to the needs of his age and nation. In order for teachers to be able to do these tasks, they should first raise themselves to a very high quality and become integrated with their job while doing their work. In order to achieve this, the teacher must be satisfied in terms of economics. Our state, which gained its independence with the declaration of the Republic, has taken great steps of economic development. Although the necessary importance has been given to education, the appropriations allocated to education have not been at an adequate level due to economic problems and difficulties. with the weakening of the impact of the world economic depression of 1929, important steps have been taken in the number of educational institutions and the rate of schooling in the progressive period since the 1930s. The educational levels of states with healthy economies are advanced. On the contrary, it can be said that the educational level of advanced states is also advanced by their economic levels. States such as Germany, Japan, the USA, Italy, the UK are examples of this. It can also be said that the economy itself and education are a whole related to each other.

Published: June 2023

Water, energy, and environment play a significant role in the economic growth and sustainable development of an economy. Energy and water resources rely on each other as energy is derived from water and water can be extracted with the use of energy, and environmental quality is affected by the use of energy and water. Current research examines this nexus using panel data of developing economies. Ecological Footprint (EF) has been used to measure environmental quality, environmental degradation and its sustainability in developing economies. Empirical results based on two-step difference generalized method of moments indicate that water, energy and environment are closely related to each other. Water productivity influences energy consumption and both energy use and water productivity have strong effects on climate change in case of developing economies. Integrated policy actions are required for water, energy and environmental management to avoid water scarcity and environmental degradation in developing economies.

Published: June 2023

The paper analyses the importance of state states in the affairs of bigger states in the context of foreign policy persuasion. In this context the paper examines the relations between Pakistan which is seen as small state in its relations with the United Sates of America, which is a big state. It reviewed a number of literatures on small states in large states’ foreign policy persuasion and found that some small states are very crucial and are key influencers of big states foreign policy directions. The paper found Pakistan a key ally of USA in military and security sense and in the war of terror. Despite some issues of distrust between Pakistan and USA including the killing of some terrorists in Pakistan, the USA seems unlikely to abandon the small state of Pakistan due to its strategic location (geopolitics). Thus, some small states matter so much in foreign policy persuasion.

Published: June 2023

This article investigates the function of Metalinguistic Awareness (MLA) in preparing preservice teachers (PSTs) to instruct students from diverse linguistic backgrounds. It examines the level of MLA among PSTs, their opportunities for learning and educating learners from diverse backgrounds, and their acquisition of MLA knowledge and teaching skills. The literature review highlights the positive effects of MLA on language instruction and learning, including its advantages in analyzing language properties, enhancing proficiency, facilitating language acquisition, and enhancing cognitive development and comprehension skills in bilingual students. However, the review reveals a dearth of MLA in PSTs and highlights the need to improve teacher education programs to better support students from diverse linguistic backgrounds. The study proposes the incorporation of service-learning and multicultural education programs in order to enhance the preparation of PSTs, emphasizing the significance of intercultural reflection and accommodating English language learners. It highlights the significance of MLA in the teaching and learning process as well as the consequences of inadequate training for PSTs. Future research should concentrate on a comprehensive examination of MLA and its implementation in preservice teacher education. In conclusion, this study highlights the significance of MLA in multilingual learning and the need to improve PSTs' understanding of linguistic diversity. By investigating MLA among PSTs at a private university in Pakistan, this study aims to contribute to the improvement of teacher education programs and ensure that PSTs possess the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively support diverse learners.

A study on the typology of social values of cultural arts through topic modeling analysis: Focus on cultural arts social enterprises
Authors:   Korean Association of Arts Management, Yeon Suhyun
Published: June 2023

Cultural and artistic social enterprises strive to combine cultural and artistic activities with business to promote social value creation and address ecological structural vulnerabilities. The purpose of this study is to identify the various types of social value generated by social enterprises in the cultural and artistic fields. To achieve this goal, we conducted LDA topic modeling analysis to identify the types of social value created by cultural and artistic social enterprises based on their social mission and main business, and used a qualitative approach to understand the characteristics of ecosystem value chain activities and enterprise activities. The study results can be summarized as follows: Firstly, the social values of cultural and artistic social enterprises can be categorized into seven types, including enhancing the art ecosystem, promoting personal reflection and satisfaction, improving personal and community health, resolving local issues and conflicts, enhancing cultural accessibility for marginalized groups, promoting the local economy, and inheriting and developing traditional culture. Secondly, it was found that in the value chain area of cultural and arts social enterprises, they are engaging in activities in the order of exhibition·reception· transmission, consumption·participation, production·creation, and dissemination. Lastly, it was discovered that although many cultural and artistic social enterprises aim to strengthen the artistic ecosystem as their mission statement, the study discovered that their focus in the value chain is on exhibition· reception·transmission. The study results indicate that a diverse and balanced range of activities is essential for the sustainability of the cultural and artistic ecosystem. Therefore, the study suggests the need for expanding the social recognition criteria and incentives policy by the government to promote the social nature of cultural and artistic social enterprises.

Authors:   Korean Association of Arts Management, Yun Kusuk
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this paper is to study the changes in and characteristics of SeMA’s acquisitions of non-Korean artists from 1991 to 2020 through a periodical perspective. In the 1990s, SeMA's collections of non-Korean artists developed around crafts and ceramic art, and artists from Western and select Asian countries were emphasized. In the 2000s, printworks related to the Seoul Olympics made by important global artists comprised the highest proportion of the museum's non-Korean acquisitions, and a wider variety of genres were collected, emphasizing painting and photography. Also, similar to the 1990s, in this period Western and Asian artists dominated the museum’s collection, though non-Western artists increasingly helped to diversify it. In the 2010s, SeMA showed even greater diversification in the artistic genres it collected, including painting, photography, installation, and new media, and emerging global artists were collected. As for the artists’ nationalities, there was a tendency in this period to collect works by multinational artists, including those from the Middle East. In addition, increasing emphasis was placed on ‘Korea’ and Korea-born foreign artists, a trend that had continued from the 2000s. Developing a discourse of globalization centered on local government art museums, this study examines the characteristics of non-Korean artists acquired by SeMA’s from the perspective of time.
The Keynesian Stimulus Model: Stimulating Economic Activities with Direct Transfers
Authors: Osuoha Christopher Achazie
Published: June 2023

Governments use direct transfers as a fiscal measure to stimulate economic activities during shocks. As COVID-19 continues to ravage economies globally, governments worldwide have responded with fiscal and monetary policies to manage the pandemic’s economic impact. In addition, the U.S. government has intervened with direct transfers to provide liquidity to prevent a prolonged shock. However, opinions are divided on the efficacy of the Keynesian stimulus policy. This study used a mixed-method research design to analyze the classical Keynesian model and compares it with the monetarist model to provide insight into the stimulus policy outcomes of the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020 and subsequent policies used to manage the COVID-19 shock. Time-series data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and the Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) of the percentage changes in GDP, disposable personal income (DPI), and personal consumption expenditure (PCE), as well as unemployment rates (UR), interest rates (INT), and inflation rates (IFL), were collected and analyzed. The study used multiple regression (MR) to empirically examine the variables' relationships to ascertain both models’ short-term efficacy. The results suggest that DPI, PCE, and UR significantly predicted the percentage change in GDP in the Keynesian model, whereas, UR, INT, and IFL did not substantially predict the change in GDP in the monetarist model.

Introduction The clinical evolution of severe burns can lead to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) with increased requirements for mechanical ventilation, which may lead to the development of Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury (VILI). Together, ARDS and VILI may cause irreversible lung damage. Mechanical power measures the amount of energy transferred from the ventilator to the respiratory system and is considered to be a unifying concept of the etiology VILI. However, doubts are still to be clarified. The goals of this study were to analyze pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in severe burn injury patients, to associate the mechanical power values over time with the outcome of burn patients (death or survival) and to associate the components of ventilation with the outcome of burn patients. Methods A longitudinal, observational and analytical study of 172 measurements of parameters collected daily from the ventilators of 26 severe burn patients undergoing mechanical ventilation with PCV. Statistical analysis was performed on the obtained values and the components of mechanical ventilation in relation to the outcome of the patients. Results The mechanical power calculated daily in burn patients was 22.83 ± SD joule per minute (J/min). Higher values of mechanical power were significantly related to the mortality (P 0.029) regardless of ventilation time, as well as higher values of PEEP, peak pressure, plateau pressure and driving pressure ( P <0.001), respiratory rate (P 0.01), variation of inspiratory pressure (P 0.03) and lower values of tidal volume (P 0.005). Conclusion In this analysis of mechanical ventilation, mean values of mechanical power in burn patients were elevated and that, regardless of mechanical ventilation time, these values are related to mortality, as well as higher values of pressures, driving pressure, respiratory rate and lower values of tidal volume, indicating the importance of stress frequency and propulsion force to overcome lung elastance.

Published: June 2023

In this study, working postures during the manual harvesting of hazelnuts were analyzed with four different ergonomic risk assessment methods, namely REBA, AWBA, OWAS, and RULA, and the differences between them were revealed. The most appropriate method for manual harvesting activities was determined. Hand harvesting of hazelnuts; It consists of three main workstations: shaking the branches by hand, collecting them manually from the branches, and containing them manually from the ground. There are three different ways of sitting in the hand-harvesting of hazelnuts: standing on knees, bending over, or cross-legged. During the manual harvest, the workers' movements at all workstations were observed and recorded with a camera. Images were analyzed using the ErgoFellow 2.0 program. As a result of the analysis, working postures that may cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) were determined. According to the analysis results, shaking the hazelnut by hand and harvesting from the branch by hand were risky compared to the other three analysis methods, except for the Ovako Working Posture Analyzing System (OWAS) method. In manual harvesting from the ground, high-risk scores were obtained in all working postures, Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), Agricultural Whole-Body Assessment (AWBA), Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), and OWAS methods, and it was determined in the category of urgent action change. Among the ergonomic risk analysis methods, it can be said that AWBA is the analysis method that includes the closest positions of working postures in the manual harvest of hazelnuts.

This research aims at empowering teachers' learning to develop innovative skills for students at high schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission. It is one of the research projects in the research series regarding 21st century skills which are the outcomes of the advancement of digital technology as well as society becoming knowledge-based in the 21st century by processing many different views which have been proposed globally across the Internet and sorting them to create educational innovation. The objective of the research and development methodology is to develop an individual which will then lead to the development of the work; provided that a person who has knowledge is then encouraged to put it in action, it will supposedly result in more efficient work according to the concept of "knowledge + action = power". This concept itself has led to the study's idea of "empowering teachers' learning and applying the results in their teaching". Therefore, the result of the study is an educational innovation called “online self-training program to empower teachers' learning in order to develop students' innovative skills" which has been approved of its quality by the stakeholder teachers who have used this educational innovation and approved through experimental field research which was efficient as hypothesized in the research. As a result, this online self-training program can be publicly disseminated to develop the teachers to afterwards develop their students in high schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission who were primarily the target group of this study across the country.
