Authors: Ogunyankinnu Tunde , Onotole Erumusele Francis , Osunkanmibi Akintunde Akinyele , Adeoye Yetunde , Aipoh , Godwin
Published: February 2025

In supply chain management, the combination of Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers innovative solutions to address critical challenges, particularly in safeguarding financial transactions and reducing fraud. Blockchain’s decentralized and immutable nature, coupled with AI’s ability to analyze vast data sets and detect patterns, can create tamper-proof financial records and enhance trust in supply chain operations. Blockchain-backed smart contracts can automate processes, ensuring transparency, accountability, and efficiency in trade finance. These smart contracts execute predefined actions based on agreed conditions, and the integration of AI allows for real-time monitoring, risk assessment, and anomaly detection. This synergy enhances the security and reliability of trade finance transactions, significantly reducing the potential for fraud, errors, or disputes. AI can continuously analyze blockchain transaction data to identify fraudulent activities, unauthorized access, and discrepancies, further bolstering security. By leveraging these technologies together, supply chain networks can achieve greater operational efficiency, minimize financial risks, and ensure the integrity of financial records. This review explores the potential of blockchain and AI synergies in creating secure, transparent, and fraud-resistant trade finance ecosystems, highlighting their impact on reducing fraud and increasing overall supply chain reliability. The integration of these advanced technologies holds great promise for transforming global trade by enabling more secure, efficient, and trustworthy financial operations across interconnected supply chains.
The role of multi-cultural awareness in corporate leadership: A conceptual model for improving organizational effectiveness
Authors: Shittu Adenike Kudirat
Published: February 2025

In today's increasingly globalized business environment, multicultural awareness has emerged as a critical competency for corporate leadership. This paper explores the role of multicultural awareness in enhancing organizational effectiveness through a conceptual model that integrates cultural intelligence, inclusive leadership practices, and cross-cultural communication strategies. Multicultural awareness refers to the ability of leaders to understand, respect, and effectively manage cultural diversity within an organization, fostering an environment of inclusion and collaboration. The proposed model highlights three core dimensions: (1) Cultural Competence, which involves recognizing cultural differences and adapting leadership approaches accordingly; (2) Inclusive Decision-Making, emphasizing the integration of diverse perspectives to foster innovation and enhance problem-solving; and (3) Cross-Cultural Communication, focusing on clear and respectful interactions that bridge cultural divides. The paper argues that multicultural awareness positively impacts employee engagement, team cohesion, and overall organizational performance by mitigating cultural misunderstandings and creating an inclusive workplace culture. Leaders with high multicultural awareness are better equipped to address the challenges of managing diverse teams, navigating global markets, and fostering organizational agility in a dynamic business landscape. Moreover, the model underscores the importance of training and development programs to enhance cultural intelligence and embed multicultural competencies in leadership pipelines. Case studies of multinational corporations demonstrate the tangible benefits of multicultural awareness, including improved employee retention, enhanced customer satisfaction, and stronger global competitiveness. By aligning leadership practices with the principles of multicultural awareness, organizations can cultivate a more innovative and resilient workforce while promoting ethical and sustainable business practices. This study contributes to the theoretical and practical understanding of multicultural awareness in corporate leadership, offering actionable insights for organizations seeking to thrive in a multicultural world. Future research could further explore the role of digital tools and emerging technologies in supporting multicultural leadership practices.
The Impact of Telehealth on Cancer Care Access in Minority Populations during the Pandemic Era
Authors: AKINWALE Folakemi Mercy , OPIA Frank Nwaogelenya , MATTHEW Kayode Ademola
Published: February 2025

By hastening the implementation of telemedicine, the COVID-19 pandemic revolutionized healthcare delivery and presented possibilities as well as difficulties in resolving inequities in minority communities' access to cancer care. With an emphasis on how telemedicine might either alleviate or worsen current disparities in cancer treatment, this study explores the effects of telehealth during the pandemic era. The benefits of telehealth included less travel expenses, better continuity of treatment, and increased accessibility for some patients. Minority communities still face several obstacles, though, such as restricted access to broadband internet, low digital literacy, linguistic and cultural hurdles, and mistrust of healthcare institutions. Important results demonstrate the dual potential of telehealth: Although it made virtual cancer care services like consultations, follow-ups, and symptom management more accessible, it also exposed structural flaws that disproportionately impact marginalized groups. Programs incorporating culturally competent care and multilingual support mitigated some barriers, but widespread disparities persist. This paper emphasizes the need for equity-focused telehealth initiatives to ensure all populations benefit from advancements in digital healthcare. Recommendations include expanding broadband infrastructure, implementing cultural competence training for providers, and promoting digital literacy through community-based programs. Future research should explore telehealth’s long-term impact on cancer outcomes and disparities, with particular attention to its effectiveness in improving patient engagement and adherence to treatment plans. By addressing these challenges, telehealth can evolve into a sustainable and equitable solution, ultimately improving cancer care delivery and outcomes for minority populations. This study serves as a foundation for developing inclusive telehealth policies and practices that prioritize health equity in cancer care.

Published: February 2025

Bài báo này nghiên cứu việc thay thế một phần chất kết dính urea formaldehyde (UF) trong chế tạo ván gỗ sợi MDF bằng chất kết dính tinh bột oxy hóa (OS) và chất đóng rắn B-pMDI. Phổ hồng ngoại FTIR đã cho thấy sự có mặt của các nhóm chức carbonyl và carboxyl trong phản ứng giữa tinh bột và hydroperoxide. Phân tích nhiệt trọng lượng TGA cho thấy mẫu tinh bột oxy hóa được phản ứng với B-pMDI cho độ bền nhiệt tốt hơn nhiều so với mẫu tinh bột ban đầu, ngoài ra phân tích phổ FTIR cũng cho thấy phản ứng giữa nhóm -NCO của B-pMDI và nhóm -COOH của OS hình thành liên kết ester. Nghiên cứu cũng cho thấy rằng, việc tăng hàm lượng OS trong chất kết dính UF/OS có xu hướng làm giảm tính chất cơ lý của ván MDF nói chung, tuy nhiên ở tỷ lệ nhất định vẫn đáp ứng được yêu cầu.

Linking Workers’ Supportive Voice and Task Performance through Workers’ Perception of Decent Work and Distributive Justice Climate: A Multilevel Research on the RMG Industry in Bangladesh
Authors: Rahman Habiba , Li Min , Nguyenthi Yen , Hu Xiaoli
Published: February 2025

Prior scholarly works suggest that workers' promotive behavior and positive perception of decent work enhance performance, and employers prefer and are fair to workers with supportive voice behavior. Nonetheless, Bangladeshi workers tend to display destructive voice behavior, leaving the possibility of exploring the influence of their supportive voice. This study examined the influence of workers' supportive voice on their task performance through the mediation of their perception of decent work and the moderation of distributive justice climate. Data had been collected from 396 working adults in the RMG industry in Bangladesh and analyzed using multilevel path analysis. Based on the social exchange theory, the equity theory, and psychology of working theory, the findings showed a positive relationship between workers' supportive voice and task performance with positive mediation of workers' perception of decent work. Distributive justice climate positively moderates the relationship between workers' supportive voice and workers’ perception of decent work but does not significantly moderate the relationship between workers’ perception of decent work and workers’ task performance. The findings suggest that employers should confirm a fair and just workplace to amplify workers’ supportive behavior, decent work perception, and performance.

Ambtshalve toetsing in hoger beroep. Over de omvang van het hoger beroep en het door de grieven ontsloten gebied

Met het arrest Heesakkers/Voets (HR 13 september 2013, ECLI:NL:HR:2013:691) is weer eens de vraag onder de aandacht gebracht welke plaats ambtshalve toetsing inneemt in het Nederlandse appelprocesrecht en meer in het bijzonder hoe die toetsing zich verhoudt tot het grievenstelsel. In hoeverre is de rechter in hoger beroep buiten de grieven om tot ambtshalve toetsing gehouden? De auteur geeft uitleg over de begrippen ‘omvang van het hoger beroep’ en ‘het door de grieven ontsloten gebied’ en bespreekt welke ruimte het Nederlandse appelprocesrecht biedt om ambtshalve te toetsen aan bepalingen van openbare orde. De in dit verband relevante procesrechtelijke begrippen blijken in literatuur en jurisprudentie niet altijd eenduidig te worden gebruikt, waardoor verwarring op de loer ligt. De auteur concludeert dat het oordeel van de Hoge Raad in Heesakkers/Voets past binnen het bestaande kader van de ambtshalve toetsing in hoger beroep aan de regels van openbare orde.

O estudo investiga a correlação entre inadimplência e desemprego no Nordeste brasileiro durante o primeiro e segundo trimestres de 2024, considerando os impactos econômicos da pandemia de COVID-19. Utilizando dados do IBGE e da Serasa Experian, o estudo aplica análises estatísticas para compreender como o desemprego afeta a capacidade das pessoas de honrar compromissos financeiros. A pesquisa revela que, embora exista uma correlação, esta varia em intensidade, indicando que o desemprego não é o único fator que contribui para a inadimplência. Fatores regionais e estruturais também desempenham um papel significativo. A análise ajuda a identificar tendências que podem orientar políticas públicas e decisões econômicas para mitigar os impactos negativos.

A tuberculose, uma das principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade no país, apresenta um panorama preocupante, com um crescimento no número de casos diagnosticados. Entre os principais fatores que contribuem para o aumento da incidência, estão a condições socioeconômicas precárias, desigualdade no acesso aos serviços de saúde e a presença de comorbidades como HIV e diabetes. Além disso, a resistência antimicrobiana e a dificuldade de adesão ao tratamento são apontadas como desafios significativos no controle da tuberculose no Brasil. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o aumento da incidência da tuberculose no Brasil, entre os anos 2019 e 2023, destacando os fatores determinantes na prevalência. O estudo foi realizado através de uma busca nas bases de dados Medline/PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), e na extração de dados do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), utilizando os indicadores epidemiológicos disponíveis (incidência, prevalência, número de casos diagnosticados). A questão de pesquisa e a estratégia utilizadas foram baseadas no modelo PICO. Foram incluídos estudos de ensaio clínico, meta-análise, ensaio controlado randomizado, artigos, livros e documentos, publicados nos idiomas inglês, espanhol e português, nos últimos 5 anos. Foram encontrados um total de 2.704 artigos inicialmente. Após as análises e eliminação das duplicatas, foram analisadas 897 referências por título e resumo, das quais 236 foram incluídas para leitura na íntegra. Após essa etapa, 227 referências foram excluídas. Ao final, 9 estudos foram considerados elegíveis.

Neste estudo, buscamos compreender as interconexões entre a Pedagogia Griô, uma pedagogia com viés decolonial, e as experiências pedagógicas das comunidades quilombolas Remanso e Iúna/Ba. Em consonância com a base epistemológica qualitativa de pesquisa, o objeto de estudo e as questões de pesquisa propostas para este estudo ‒ tomamos a perspectiva da pesquisa narrativa, defendida por Connelly e Clandinin (1995), aliada à perspectiva decolonial como procedimento de investigação. Os dispositivos de pesquisa utilizados foram a entrevista narrativa e as rodas de conversa. Com o desenvolvimento do estudo, percebemos que as experiências pedagógicas no cotidiano escolar das comunidades quilombolas envolvidas nesse estudo demonstram pontos de convergência e de divergência no que diz respeito à sua relação com os princípios e práticas da Pedagogia Griô e estão ainda emaranhadas nos “fios” da colonialidade.

A indústria têxtil é um setor de grande importância na economia, movimentando bilhões de dólares e empregando milhões de pessoas. No entanto, devido à elevada utilização de materiais sintéticos e água, aliada ao modelo de negócio intensivo e ao consumo exacerbado, esse setor também se encontra entre os que mais geram impactos ambientais e sociais preocupantes. Este panorama contrasta com iniciativas sustentáveis, como o tingimento natural, prática que retoma métodos ancestrais e promove processos ambientalmente responsáveis. Ao contrário dos corantes sintéticos, os corantes naturais, biodegradáveis e menos nocivos, destacam-se por reduzir o impacto ambiental e alinhar-se à economia circular e aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável, estabelecidos pela Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU). Nesse contexto, o tingimento natural ressurge como uma alternativa viável para mitigar os desafios da indústria têxtil moderna. Esta abordagem oferece um caminho promissor para o equilíbrio entre produção, sustentabilidade e ética na moda.

Pastoral Grazing in Tanzania’s Village Forest Reserves: Unearthing Extra-Ecological Motives for (In-)Compatibility
Authors: Rwelengera Benezet , Abdallah Jumanne
Published: February 2025

The colonial imposition of scientific forestry in Africa criminalised a range of uses, including grazing in forests. Following decentralised forestry, village land forest reserves (VLFRs) were established in Tanzania, where villages could ostensibly prescribe customary uses. The question remains: Can VLFRs be conceived of as grazing spaces? To address this question, we conducted a qualitative, multi-scalar analysis at the village, district, and national levels. We conducted 40 interviews and 31 FGDs and reviewed 70 documents. We noted that debates about grazing-VLFR incompatibility are not exclusively hinged on ecological sustainability but a cocktail of extra-ecological concerns. These include the socio-politics of identity and belonging, costs of conservation, peace and security, and economic and scientific epistemes mobilised by different actors. Furthermore, we argue that the politics of legitimation and regulation related to dominant ideologies and institutions further complicate this relationship. We conclude that one ought to appreciate the scaled contextual and historical specificities shaping debates before passing judgment on (in)compatibility.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: This research aims to investigate the use of financial Big Data and artificial intelligence (AI) in predicting the bankruptcy risk of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI), with the Altman Z-Score model as the main framework. Objective: In this research, an intervening variable in the form of financial data quality is introduced to assess the role of mediation in increasing the accuracy of bankruptcy predictions.. Method: The research method used is quantitative with the analytical method used is Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), which allows analysis of the relationship between independent variables (Big Data and AI), intervening variables (quality of financial data), and dependent variables (bankruptcy risk prediction). Result: The research results show that the integration of financial Big Data and AI significantly increases the accuracy of company bankruptcy risk predictions on the IDX, with the quality of financial data acting as an intervening variable that strengthens this relationship. The influence of Big Data and AI on bankruptcy prediction through the quality of financial data has also been proven to provide more precise and faster results compared to the conventional Altman Z-Score model. Conclusion: These findings confirm that the quality of financial data is a key factor that must be considered in optimizing bankruptcy predictions in the capital market. This research has implications for the development of financial technology (Fintech) and risk management strategies in public companies, especially in identifying bankruptcy risks more effectively by utilizing the latest technology.

Background: The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has transformed the way students interact with technological tools, creating new challenges related to self-efficacy, anxiety, and AI dependence. Self-efficacy refers to one's confidence in their ability to use AI, while AI-related anxiety pertains to the fear or concern when interacting with these systems. These variables can influence technological dependence, affecting academic performance and emotional well-being. Objective: This study aims to examine the influence of self-efficacy in AI use and anxiety toward AI on AI dependence among Peruvian university students. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 528 Peruvian university students aged 18 to 37 years (M = 19.00, SD = 3.84). Scales were used to measure AI self-efficacy, anxiety toward AI, and AI dependence. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were applied to identify predictors of technological dependence. Results: The results showed that AI self-efficacy was positively correlated with AI anxiety (r = 0.43, p < .01) and AI dependence (r = 0.61, p < .01). Anxiety also significantly correlated with AI dependence (r = 0.71, p < .01). Multiple regression analysis revealed that both AI anxiety (β = 1.131, p < .001) and AI self-efficacy (β = 0.610, p < .001) predicted AI dependence. Additionally, business administration students exhibited greater dependence compared to students from other fields (β = 1.025, p < .05). Conclusions: Students with higher self-efficacy in AI use tend to utilize AI more frequently but also experience greater anxiety and dependence on AI. Educational interventions should focus on reducing AI-related anxiety to prevent excessive dependence, especially among students.
Multimodal Anesthesia-Analgesia for Patients with Huntington’s Disease: A Case Series

Published: February 2025

Objective. The aim of this article is to demonstrate that the anesthetic challenges faced by patients with Huntington’s disease (HD) undergoing major surgery, can be successfully managed using modern, opioid-sparing, multimodal strategies.
Case Report. We present two case studies involving HD patients who received general anesthesia. The first patient also suffered from alcohol use disorder (AUD) and underwent thoracoscopic pleural biopsy. The second patient was scheduled for laparoscopic hemicolectomy. Due to the unavailability of ultrasound and excessive choreic movements, locoregional anesthetic techniques were not feasible. Both patients were successfully managed using similar opioid-sparing, multimodal anesthetic-analgesic strategies, and had uncomplicated postoperative courses. In both patients, a dexmedetomidine infusion was used, and both reported a brief amelioration of their chorea postoperatively.
Conclusion. This is the first reported case of a patient with Huntington’s disease with concurrent AUD undergoing general anesthesia using modern, opioid-sparing, multimodal, anesthetic-analgesic strategies. Even when the advantages of locoregional anesthesia are not available, HD patients can be safely and effectively treated using modern anesthetic methods that minimize opioid use and its associated side effects.
