Intangible Asset Investment and Business Sustainability of Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria
Authors: Benshima Ass. Prof ORBUNDE , Jonah Ass. Prof ARUMONA , Temidayo AKINTOYE Olufemi
Published: June 2023

In recent years, research has shown that companies have steadily increased their investment in intangible assets relative to tangible assets, and many scholars have studied the impact of these investments on firm’s profit and performance. However, there have been very few studies examining the impact of these investments on the sustainable growth of firms in Nigeria. This study investigated the impact of intangible asset investment on the business viability of Nigerian deposit money institutions. The investigation employed an ex-post facto design with a sample size of twelve deposit money institutions. The analysis utilised secondary data obtained from the Nigerian Exchange Group. The random effect regression analysis technique was used to analyse the data, and the results indicated that goodwill intensity has a significant positive effect on sustainable growth rate, whereas asset intangibility intensity has a significant negative effect on the sustainable growth rate of deposit money banks in Nigeria. Therefore, the study concludes that investment in intangible assets has a significant impact on the business sustainability of Nigerian deposit money banks. For sustained business growth, the study recommends that deposit money institutions invest more in intangible assets.

Published: June 2023

Social media have become extremely popular in recent years, and their widespread adoption has led to the presence of huge volumes of users’ personal information on the Internet. The ever-increasing number of social media users on one hand and the massive amount of information being shared daily on the other hand have encouraged attackers to develop and use different techniques to collect and analyze such information for a number of malicious purposes, including spamming, attacking through viruses, phishing, spear-phishing attacks and identity theft among others. Clearly, this trend represents a significant challenge affecting both users and administrators, and likewise create a privacy and security issues for social media users. In this paper, common security and privacy issues were examined along with recommendations to social media users to protect themselves from these issues whenever they use social media.

Addressing the experiences and promoting gender equality in law enforcement is crucial not only for the well-being of women officers but also for creating safer and more just communities for all. This study explored the insights of the female police officers in their experiences at their workplace towards gender equality in the province of Misamis Occidental during the year 2023. Descriptive phenomenology was the research design used in the study. Seven women police officers participated in the study, who were chosen using purposive sampling. An in-depth interview was done to gather data using interview guide questions. The participants’ responses were transcribed, coded, and organized to form themes based on the study’s objective using NVivo software. Data were then analyzed and interpreted using Moustaka’s steps of data analysis. Results revealed that majority of the women police officers were at the age middle age married with the rank of police corporal. Moreover, their insights resulted to seven themes: handling gender based-cases, being given simpler work and belittle in their competence, desiring to perform male tasks, having lesser opportunities in leadership and promotion, using varied coping mechanisms in dealing with gender inequality; the need for equal treatment and opportunities, and aspiring for support system, clubs, programs, and laws to empower women. Female police officers have to be provided with opportunities for professional growth and development by ensuring that female police officers have equal access to leadership positions, training, and promotional opportunities, establishing support systems, clubs, and programs that empower and promote the advancement of women in law enforcement; and advocating for laws and policies that protect the rights and promote the advancement of women in law.

Teachers’ increasing use of cloud-based Geographical Information Systems (Web GIS) in an interactive way in Spanish secondary schools highlights the importance of researching the effectiveness of this new approach. This study employs action research qualitative methods, through direct teacher observation, and quantitative methods to analyze student grades following first use of Web GIS. Specifically, the research involved: a) Design: organizing a geopolitics’ lesson plan, with seven tasks, for a sample comprising 92 students at K10 level (15-16 years old); b) Comparison: contrasting the results of a traditional written exam following the use of two technologies (namely, Web GIS and a conventional PowerPoint presentation); c) Data collection: analyzing quantitative data via a descriptive and inference study of grades (involving a geopolitics exam; geography and history final term; Grade Point Average -GPA-; and the average grade of the entire term’s 10 curriculum subjects); d) Direct observation: assessing class interactions in which students are assisted with both technology (Web GIS or PowerPoint) and the clarification of concepts. The results demonstrate that Web GIS is a useful learning tool in geopolitics, with students getting better grades and no significant gender differences. Direct observation confirms how Web GIS technologies engage students; assist ‘ubiquitous learning’ from any place and at any time; improve their understanding of data analysis and spatial concepts; and enhanced digital competencies.
On Birinci Yüzyılda Bir Keşişin İzinden: Patmoslu Christodoulos ve Türkler
Authors: GÜNEŞ Cüneyt
Published: June 2023

Yunanistan’daki Patmos Manastırının kurucusu olarak bilinen Christodoulos, Bithynia bölgesindeki Nikeia’da 1020 (ö. 1093) yılında doğdu. Bizans İmparatorluğu’nun tehlikeli ve çalkantılı bir döneminde Filistin’de, Latros Dağı’nda, Kos Adası’nda ve Patmos’ta görev yaptı. Patmoslu Christodoulos son olarak 1088 yılında Bizans İmparatoru I. Aleksios Komnenos (1081-1118) tarafından kendisine bağış olarak verilen Patmos Adası’nda Aziz Theologos/Yuhanna Manastırını kurdu. Christodoulos ilk başta Kudüs’te sonra Latros, Strobilos, Kos Adası ve Patmos Adası’nda Türk saldırılarına uğradı ve bu saldırılardan kurtuldu. 1091’de Hypotyposis adlı çalışmasını yazdı. Grekçe yazılan Hypotyposis metni hem Türkler hem de Aziz Christodoulos’un hayatı hakkında önemli bilgiler içermektedir. Ne yazık ki bu metin ülkemizde detaylı bir çalışmanın konusu olmamıştır. Selçuklu Türkleri’nin saldırısı sonrasında Kudüs’ten kaçtıktan sonra Christodoulos’un vermiş olduğu bilgiler, sadece Doğu Akdeniz tarihi için değil hem Güneybatı Anadolu hem de Türk tarihi açısından oldukça kıymetlidir. Bu makalede, hem Christodoulos’un hayatı hem de Türkler hakkında vermiş olduğu bilgiler Güneybatı Anadolu özelinde incelenecektir.
ANÁLISE TEMPORAL DO INDICE DE VEGETAÇÃO POR DIFERENÇA NORMALIZADA (NDVI) NA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DO RIO BRANCO – BA
Authors: TELES Juliana Dantas de Andrade , SOUZA Kauanny Santos , FARIAS Rafael Guimarães
Published: June 2023

A Região Oeste da Bahia sofreu fortes mudanças no cenário ambiental a partir da década de 80 devido à expansão do agronegócio. Nesse sentido é importante acompanhar a exploração dessas áreas para monitorar e gerenciar de forma confiável as bacias hidrográficas existentes no local. Para isso, foram utilizadas ferramentas de geotecnologia com o objetivo de analisar a dinâmica espacial e temporal da vegetação da Bacia do Rio Branco – BA. Foi realizada a espacialização e quantificação da vegetação nativa da bacia, identificando as mudanças ocorridas nos anos de 1994, 2007 e 2020. Foi utilizado o NDVI obtido através do processamento de imagens de satélite. Os resultados apontam que houve uma diminuição de vegetação nativa e aumento de área de cultivo e de pastagem, observados pela redução das classes Moderadamente Alta e Alta e o crescimento das classes Muito Baixa, Baixa e Moderadamente Baixa. Portanto, com a perda da vegetação nativa o solo tem ficado mais exposto e susceptível a degradação.

This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between foot shape and intrinsic foot muscles (IFMs) in adolescent swimmers compared with other athletes. Foot morphology of swimmers was compared with other athletes of comparable age and a competition level (n = 32 [64 feet]; a total of 64 feet; 128 feet in two groups). Foot morphology and variables of IFMs were measured using a three-dimensional foot scanner and an ultrasound imaging system, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis with forced entry was performed to clarify the association of the thickness and the cross-sectional area (CSA) of IMFs with the navicular height in both sitting and standing positions. Navicular height in a standing position, the thickness of the abductor hallucis (AbH) and the flexor digitorum brevis (FDB), as well as the CSA were significantly lower in swimmers compared with other athletes (p < 0.05). A larger CSA for the flexor hallucis brevis (FHB) was observed in swimmers than in other athletes (p < 0.01). The navicular height of swimmers in sitting and standing positions was positively correlated with the thickness and the CSA of the FHB and the FDB (p < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that navicular height was associated with the CSA of the FDB in both sitting and standing positions (β = 0.395; p < 0.002, β = 0.201; p < 0.018). This study showed that the navicular height of elite adolescent swimmers was lower than that of other athletes. Furthermore, the swimmers’ high navicular height was associated with the CSA of the FDB, suggesting that the FDB might be more involved in the formation of the medial longitudinal arch than the AbH.

Published: June 2023

The aim of the present study was to analyse the role of exercises' resistance profile in regional hypertrophy. Thirty-eight healthy women completed a 9-week resistance training program consisting of either 4 sets of 12 repetitions to volitional failure of inclined bicep curls (INC group) or preacher curls (PREA group), three times per week. Pre- and post-intervention muscle thickness was measured using B-mode ultrasound imaging with a linear-array transducer. Scan acquisition sites were determined by measuring 50%, 60% and 70% of the distance between the posterior crest of the acromion and the olecranon. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. No region of the INC group grew when comparing pre- to post-intervention. The 70% region of the PREA group grew significantly (muscle thickness increased from 2.7  0.43 cm to 2.94  0.44 cm). We found no growth differences between regions when analysing per group (p = 0.274), region (p = 0.571) or group*region (p = 0.367). Our results show that the distal region of the arm grows in response to the preacher curl that places the highest amount of strain in the range of motion in which the arm muscles are more elongated.

Do narratives make nations, and if so, did networks make this happen? The notion that national and other group identities are constructed and sustained by narratives and images has been widely postulated for several decades now. This volume contributes to this debate, with a particular emphasis on the networked, transnational nature of cultural nation-building processes in a comparative European and sometimes extra-European context. It gathers together essays that engage with objects of study ranging from poetry, prose, and political ideas to painting, porcelain, and popular song, and which draw on examples in Icelandic, Arabic, German, Irish, Hungarian, and French, among other languages. The contributors study transcultural phenomena from the medieval and early modern periods through to the modern and postmodern era, frequently challenging conventional periodizations and analytical frameworks based on the idea of the nation-state.

The Dutch Republic around 1600 was a laboratory of the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century. Here conditions were favourable for the development of new ways of knowing nature and the natural philosopher Isaac Beeckman, who was born in Middelburg in 1588, was a seminal figure in this context. He laid the groundwork for the strictly mechanical philosophy that is at the heart of the new science. Descartes and others could build on what they learned, directly or indirectly, from Beeckman. As previous studies have mainly dealt with the scientific content of Beeckman’s thinking, this volume also explores the wider social, scientific and cultural context of his work. Beeckman was both a craftsman and a scholar and fruitfully combined artisanal ways of knowing with international scholarly traditions. Beeckman’s extensive private notebook offers a unique perspective on the cultures of knowledge that emerged in this crucial period in intellectual history.
The Triumph of the Familiar Letter
Authors: Monagle Clare , James Carolyn , Garrioch David , Caine Barbara
Published: June 2023

The ‘familiar letter’, relatively informal and often written for
pleasure rather than by obligation, became the dominant form of personal
letter in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Changes in female
education and expanding public postal services opened letter-writing to
many more women, and the genre came to be seen as one at which they
excelled. The familiar letter, along with the development of the novel and
wider changes in behavioural norms, made possible new kinds of epistolary
relationship. Some women used their correspondence with family, lovers,
friends and acquaintances to shape relationships in ways that were new,
and that would not have been possible in face-to-face communication.

Coral reef fish population in the western extremity of the Coral Triangle
Authors: B. Mabel Manjaji-Matsumoto  , Muhammad Ali Syed Hussein  , Jean-Chai Yee
Published: June 2023

The central and north west coast of Sabah lies along the western extremity of the Coral Triangle, within which lies several marine protected areas (MPAs). In this study we determined in situ coral reef fish populations in several localities along the west coast of Sabah, by exploring species abundance, richness and diversity of ten economically important fish species. The underwater surveys were conducted from May to December 2015. During this eight month period, surveys at each site were undertaken once every two months. Dives were conducted during the daylight hours. A total of 171 individuals from the targeted fish species were enumerated from the 349 still images and 220 minutes of video footage. Abundance was observed mainly in the semi-protected MPA (n=110) with only one fish species recorded with more than 2 individuals at protected MPA and unprotected sites. We observed a correlation between fish species richness and coral topographic complexity, with study sites at the semi-protected MPA having the most complex topography landscape, and accordingly recording the highest Shannon-Wiener index (H= 2.85). Higher abundance figures recorded at study sites in the unprotected MPA indicate that such areas could potentially become de facto MPAs. A long-term monitoring, assessment and evaluation of the multiple degrees of variables involved such as length-weight relationship, type of habitat, variation in depth, and species behaviour is recommended in order to understand better the relationship and dynamics between these variables.
Kidney organoids: development and applications
Authors: Kim Hye-Youn , Yu Seyoung , Choi Yo Jun , Gee Heon Yung
Published: June 2023

Since the first publication on generating kidney-like cell aggregates from pluripotent stem cells, various modifications have been made to develop more complex and detailed kidney structures. In contrast to earlier models that featured nephron-like structures, these advances have improved the differentiation efficiency and similarity to the human kidney. Presently, kidney organoids contain not only nephrons and ureteric buds but also stromal cells. These organoids mimic the structural similarities and developmental processes of the kidneys, while reflecting their physiological properties. Kidney tubuloids derived from adult stem cells offer the advantage of long-term culture and expansion, but they include only tubular structures and lack glomerular components. In this review, we discuss the induction protocols for kidney organoids and tubuloids, as well as their potential applications in understanding kidney development, renal pathogenesis, and drug screening.

A educação escolar no Piauí do XIX: a precariedade do ensino público
Authors: Borges Raimundo Nonato de Oliveira
Published: June 2023

The aim of this article is to present the general picture of school education in Piauí in the 19th century. Analyzing the following question: what are the investments made by the provincial government in the schooling of the Piauí population with regard to primary, secondary and professional education? It is noticed that public education was precarious and developed in parallel with private education according to Odilon Nunes. From this perspective, government negligence encouraged the emergence of private schools sponsored by landowners to teach literacy to their relatives, classes were generally held at home, as there were almost no buildings for such activities. Therefore, school education in Brazil, including in Piauí, has never been a matter of priority, but of privileges, especially for the dominant classes. This is a bibliographical research work, in which authors were consulted who corroborate this discussion about education in Piauí in the 19th century, such as: Costa Filho, Odilon Nunes, Teresinha Queiroz.
Solar Flux Effects on the Variations of Equatorial Electrojet (EEJ)
and Counter-Electrojet (CEJ) Current across the Different Longitudinal Sectors
during Low and High Solar Activity
Authors: Cherkos Alemayehu Mengesha
Published: June 2023

This study examined the effect of solar flux (F10.7) and sunspots number (R) on
the daily variation of equatorial electrojet (EEJ) and morning/afternoon counter
electrojet (MCEJ/ACEJ) in the ionospheric E region across the eight longitudinal
sectors during quiet days from January 2008 to December 2013. In particular, we
focus on both minimum and maximum solar cycle of 24. For this purpose, we have
collected a 6-year ground-based magnetic data from multiple stations to
investigate EEJ/CEJ climatology in the Peruvian, Brazilian, West & East
African, Indian, Southeast Asian, Philippine, and Pacific sectors with the
corresponding F10.7 and R data from satellites simultaneously. Our results
reveal that the variations of monthly mean EEJ intensities were consistent with
the variations of solar flux and sunspot number patterns of a cycle, further
indicating that there is a significant seasonal and longitudinal dependence.
During the high solar cycle period, F10.7 and R have shown a strong peak around
equinoctial months, consequently, the strong daytime EEJs occurred in the
Peruvian and Southeast Asian sectors followed by the Philippine regions
throughout the years investigated. In those sectors, the correlation between the
day Maxima EEJ and F10.7 strengths have a positive value during periods of high
solar activity, and they have relatively higher values than the other sectors. A
predominance of MCEJ occurrences is observed in the Brazilian (TTB), East
African (AAE), and Peruvian (HUA) sectors. We have also observed the CEJ
dependence on solar flux with an anti-correlation between ACEJ events and F10.7
are observed especially during a high solar cycle period.

Abstract. The role of gravity waves on microphysics of tropical cirrus clouds and air-parcel dehydration was studied using the combination of Lagrangian observations of temperature fluctuations and a 1.5D model. High-frequency measurements during isopycnal balloon flights were used to resolve the gravity-wave signals with periods ranging from a few days to 10 min. The detailed microphysical simulations with homogeneous freezing, sedimentation, and a crude horizontal mixing represent the slow ascent of air parcels in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL). A reference simulation describes the slow ascent of air parcels in the tropical tropopause layer, with nucleation occurring only below the cold-point tropopause with a small ice-crystal density. The inclusion of the gravity waves drastically modifies the vertical profile of low ice concentration and weak dehydration found during the ascent alone, with the increased ice-crystal number and size distribution agreeing better with observations. Numerous events of nucleation occur below and above the cold-point tropopause, efficiently restoring the relative humidity over ice to equilibrium with respect to the background temperature, as well as increasing the cloud fraction in the vicinity of the cold-point tropopause. The corresponding decrease in water vapor is estimated at 2 ppmv around the cold-point tropopause.

Published: June 2023

Abstract. Growing urbanization cause environmental problems such as vast amount of carbon emissions and pollution all over the world.Smart Infrastructure and Smart Environment are two significant components of the smart city paradigm that can create opportunities for ensuring energy conservation, preventing ecological degradation, and using renewable energy sources. Since a great portion of the data contains location information, geospatial intelligence is a key technology for sustainable smart cities. We need a holistic framework for the smart governance of cities by utilizing key technological drivers such as big data, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT). Geospatial Big Data applications offer predictive data science tools such as grid computing and parallel computing for efficient and fast processing to build a sustainable smart city ecosystem. Effective management of big data in storage, visualization, analytics, and analysis stages can foster green building, green energy, and net zero targets of countries. Parallel computing systems have the ability to scale up analysis on geospatial big data platforms which is key for ocean, atmosphere, land, and climate applications. In this study, it is aimed to create the necessary technical infrastructure for smart city applications with a holistic big data management approach. Thus, a smart city model framework is developed for Smart Environment and Smart Governance components and performance comparison of Dask-GeoPandas and Apache Sedona parallel processing systems are carried out. Apache Sedona performed better on the performance test during read, write, join and clustering operations.

Abstract. Through a (re)mapping and spatial modeling of a city’s past, exploratory web applications can be built to examine urban histories and dynamically engage scholars and the public. Working on Emory University’s OpenWorld Atlanta project (OWA), researchers used geospatial technologies and methods to extract data from archives and other sources to build historical data models, geodatabases, and geocoders that enabled the development of web-based dynamic map interfaces. With a focus on the early stages of urban development of the city of Atlanta in the southeastern United States, this platform provides exploratory visualizations of city history along with a wealth of detail for specific time periods, specifically circa 1878 and 1928, given the opportunity provides by key map publications of the city. These dynamically enabled historical maps were then connected to digital images, geospatial vector data, descriptive text, and labels and then structured in a content management system.While this project began as a digitization project centered on two atlases in the Rose Library collection at Emory University, it has grown to include contributors from several partner institutions. Therefore, this paper outlines the OWA project within a larger consortium of institutions and researchers focusing on production methods, platform development, interface design, and evaluation using open-data and open-source methods and software in cities' historical mapping and modeling. Drawing upon historical maps, city directories, archival collections, newspapers, and census data, projects like OWA allow researchers to analyze spatially grounded questions. In addition, they may serve the public as a valuable informational resource to learn about their neighborhood’s past and even contribute materials from family archives or stories.

Abstract. Automatic building footprint extraction from remote sensing imagery is a widely used method, with deep learning techniques being particularly effective. However, deep learning approaches still require additional post-processing steps due to pixel-wise predictions, that contribute to occluded and geometrically incorrectly segmented buildings. To address this issue, we propose an end-to-end workflow that utilizes binary semantic segmentation, regularization, and vectorization. We implement and assess the performance of four convolutional neural network architectures including U-Net, U-NetFormer, FT-UnetFormer, and DCSwin on the MapAI Precision in Building Segmentation competition. To additionally improve the shape of the predicted buildings we apply regularization on the predictions to assess whether regularization further improves the geometrical shape and improve the prediction accuracy. We aim to produce accurate predictions with regularized boundaries that can prove useful in many cartographic and engineering applications. The regularization and vectorization workflow is further developed into a working QGIS-plugin that can be used to extend the functionality of QGIS. Our aim is to provide an end-to-end workflow for building segmentation, regularization and vectorization.
GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE AND THE USE OF OPEN BIG DATA FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE-CHANGE ASSESSMENTS: A KOSOVO CASE STUDY

Published: June 2023

Abstract. This paper presents a framework for utilizing available open data resources, such as Google Earth Engine, to assess environmental conditions and climate change vulnerability in Kosovo. This paper lays the groundwork for academic, government, and private sector institutions to develop strategies for addressing climate change and environmental issues in Kosovo and for other developing nations to understand the extent of change occurring. The study demonstrates the value of open data for environmental sustainability and resilience building. The framework is based on the analysis of air pollution, groundwater monitoring, urban environments, and deforestation in Kosovo using publicly available models. The model is re-coded for Kosovo in JavaScript using open datasets to create an environmental assessment of the scopes and scales of the environmental issues that plague Kosovo. The results show that there is a lack of institutional frameworks for assessing climate change impacts in Kosovo, with limited capacity for conducting environmental assessments, and with limited data capacity for resource and data scarce environments with community managed frameworks. By leveraging extensive amounts of data and applying analytical frameworks, this paper contributes to the knowledge base of environmental conditions in Kosovo with emphasis on open data and technological advancements.

In this study, which aims to examine the basic characteristics of classical management theories in educational management, not only the characteristics and basic characteristics of classical management theories will be mentioned, but also the total management theories will be contacted. Classical Management Theories are theories that try to reach a single management theory by explaining the functions and principles of management. Classical management theorists have defended the view that what is good for the organization is also good for the employee by putting the organization at the center in the understanding of total quality management. They have generally approached the organization from a mechanical point of view, focusing especially on the organizational structure; they have accepted the unmanned organization view. However, the pressure created on the organization by the rapidly falling economic earnings and the need for more employment prevented the studies on the subject. Within the framework of total quality management, he considered the individual within the organization as a productivity tool or machine and evaluated his expectations, needs, cultural differences in a minimal way. Besides, the fact that they see management as a profession, support managers with some principles and techniques, guide them, show them Deceptions, can be counted among the contributions of classical management theorists to the science of management. It is obvious that classical management theories are competent in the field of total quality management. It is possible to see the effects of classical management theories in the application of total quality management understanding to all areas of life. With the approach, the efficiency-oriented life fashion has dominated; all elements in working and business life have attracted attention in terms of productivity.
