This paper explores the proposed solutions based on blockchain technology's potential to solve supply chain management issues. The problems include lack of traceability and transparency, scalability and cost issues, sustainability, efficiency, patchwork logistics, and bullwhip effect issues. In this paper, we have suggested some solutions with the help of blockchain technology. The solutions can solve multiple significant issues in supply chain management. Our blockchain-based solutions can provide a secure and visible record of all transactions and data along the supply chain, which can improve traceability and transparency, a decentralized and efficient method of data processing and exchange that can also increase scalability and reduce cost, a transparent and accountable way to track and verify sustainability-related data. Our method can enable more streamlined and automated tracking and data sharing, helping to reduce the risk of delays and inefficiencies while mitigating the risk of the bullwhip effect by providing real-time visibility and enabling better communication and collaboration between parties. The paper discusses the implications and challenges of implementing blockchain in supply chain management.
How Social Media Marketing Affecting Brand Equity And Student Engagement in Higher Education Marketing
Authors: Barus Dianta Hasri Natalius
Published: December 2023

The utilization of social media enables interpersonal communication and user engagement, thereby altering conventional hierarchical communication methods and introducing an unpredictable element into the decision-making process of consumers. Social media marketing is an essential component for organizations seeking to maintain competitiveness, despite being viewed as a part of online marketing. The efficacy of social media promotion is contingent upon the existence of novel products, the market responsiveness of organizations, and the establishment of robust online platforms. Social networking sites such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook have become essential instruments for marketers. These platforms are extraordinarily valuable for the promotion of brands and services because they facilitate interactive communication. Social networking sites play a crucial role in the dissemination of information about higher education institutions, serving as effective mechanisms for attracting potential students. The influence of the material disseminated on these online platforms on the cognitive processes of potential students in making decisions is yet to be established. The crucial non-financial advantage of institutions' utilization of social media platforms is the recognition of user engagement. A comprehensive understanding of user involvement across diverse platforms can augment our comprehension of its impact on brand perception. The visual-centric attributes, along with elevated engagement rates among a diverse, young, and international population, have made Instagram a powerful platform for institutions of higher education. The article emphasizes the significance of brand equity within the marketing approach of higher education establishments. The concept of brand equity is subject to the influence of various factors, including but not limited to brand personality, social credibility, and market position. Ensuring the provision of superior amenities and services is imperative for academic institutions. However, the establishment of a proficient communication mechanism is equally vital for enhancing the university's brand positioning and managing the value of its brand efficiently. The notion of 'brand soul' serves as the foundation for this, denoting how the academic institution's faculty and staff personify the brand.
Kiwari: Inquiry Smart Module (Investigation Fiction Case-Based) as an Approach to Integrative Science for Student's Analytical Thinking Competencies in Senior High School
Authors: Arisna Definda Putri , Sakina Rizqiani  , Ramadhan Muhamad Fahreza
Published: December 2023

The ability to think analytically and critically is one of the keys to carrying out education, which can make students understand comprehensive information and associate between components. However, to train the students’ analytical and critical thinking skills, their interest and excitement towards the learning process must be approached. This research was conducted to attract and increase students' interest in learning Biology and Chemistry (Integrative Science), providing an alternative or inspiration for inquiry science learning media to train students’ analytical thinking skills and creating a Learner-Centred class. The method used in this study is Research and Development (4D Model); the module design includes the Define, Design, and Development stages. Furthermore, the Two Group Randomised Experiment Method was used to test and measure the feasibility of the Kiwari Module. In this research, the parameters used to test the effectiveness of the module include the parameters to measure in terms of students' interest or excitement in learning, the use in terms of honing students' analytical thinking skills, and the use in studying Biology and Chemistry material, as well as student participation or contribution actively on learning. This study found that the module was said to be effective in increasing students' interest in learning Biology and Chemistry by up to 92%. The analytical uses of the module were scored 4.5 out of 5 by the material experts and suitable for use as a science inquiry learning media option up to 71%. The module was 70.6%, involving students participating actively in the class (Learner-Centred Class).
Towards a Defensible Nominalism
Authors: Goldstick Daniel ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: December 2023

Only concreta are causative, though other things can play a passive part in enabling them to do the causing that they do. Nonconcreta—platonic universals included—are just the instrumental and ethical values of concreta. There is no sense of the word in which both concreta and nonconcreta “exist”; but, coining one, we can say nothing “exists,” in that coined sense, over and above concreta, their vicissitudes and their values. That is nominalism.
Painting as Metaphor in Plato's Republic
Authors: Marrin Brian ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: December 2023

This paper examines the use of the painting metaphor in the Republic, showing that earlier mentions of painting suggest an understanding of mimesis at odds with the critique of book X, and argues that this disagreement can only be understood in the dialogical context of the work as a whole. Early on, painters are said to be able to produce images truer and more beautiful than any existing object, and both the depiction of the city in speech itself and its realization in practice are compared to the act of painting. Read in this context, the critique of mimesis in book X can be seen as a challenge to one of the central arguments of the Republic. But in critiquing images as representation of reality it leaves untouched the metaphorical use of images, and so allows the city in speech to fulfill its original purpose as an analogy for the soul.
Comparison of the Porosity Parameter in Sediments Obtained Using Traditional and Precision Methods (Cenomanian Deposits in Western Siberia, Russia)
Authors: Naumenko Vitaliya , Zavatskij Mikhail , Skudar Daniil
Published: December 2023

The study focuses on porosity, an important parameter for calculating reserves. Traditionally, weight-based methods are used in calculation, which implies a simple approach to estimating hydrocarbon reserves. However, this study is based on the need to show that effective reserve assessment and hydrocarbon production planning require a combination of various methods supplemented by dynamic modeling. The Cenomanian deposit of the Yamburgskoe and Yubileynoe deposits in Western Siberia, Russia is the object of the study. A comparison is made based on the data obtained during the direct analysis using Preobrazhensky's method and microtomography of the core of the Cenomanian deposit. The study is carried out to evaluate the representativeness of various methods of measuring porosity and to investigate directly the reservoir of the Cenomanian deposit
Criminalizing Librarianship: State Legislatures Creating Legal Jeopardies for Librarians
Authors: Jaeger Paul T. , Jennings-Roche Allison , Hodge Olivia J.
Published: December 2023

US history has featured many periods of greatly enhanced efforts to ban books, such as during the Comstock era, World War I, and the McCarthy era of the 1950s. Similar to previous periods, the book banning movement that has arisen during the novel coronavirus pandemic of the 2020s has featured widespread efforts to ban many books, particularly those representing certain marginalized experiences, from schools and libraries. However, this current tidal wave of ban booking has added the new and disturbing dimension of laws being considered in state legislatures that would actually create civil and criminal penalties for librarians if banned books were available in the library. These proposed laws are part of much broader legislative efforts at the state and national levels to limit the ability of libraries to construct collections and provide services that meet the needs of their communities. Though there have been some lingering, but unfounded, concerns that librarians might be criminally liable for incorrect information in the library collection and some national security laws have created potential legal jeopardy for librarians in extremely specific circumstances, these new proposed laws are the first that would create widespread legal liabilities for librarians. This article considers the nature of these proposed laws, the larger context that has generated them, and the implications if passed into law, including the Missouri law that has gone into effect.
A Brief History of Banning Ellen Hopkins
Authors: Damron Aryssa
Published: December 2023

Ellen Hopkins, the author of many verse novels for teens, did not shy away from writing about tough topics, like drug abuse, domestic abuse, sexual assault, and violence. Writing based on her own experiences—as a woman, and as a mother—Hopkins found herself, for a period in the early 21st century, the target of censors who thought her tales were too dark and gritty for teens. This chapter explores the author’s own relationship to Hopkins’ work and the history of attempts to censor Hopkins and her stories over the past nearly two decades. From disinvitations to permission slips, censorship takes many forms. It goes after many different people and types of books, and through the timeline of attempts to ban one specific author, we can illuminate ways in which censors attack people’s lived experiences when they attempt to ban a book.

Research Process: An overview of the Qualitative Approach
Authors:   School of Nursing and Health Science, Aspen University, Denver, Colorado USA, Nshi Goodluck
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Research process is tedious to even professionals let alone the neophytes in the field. Breaking down the process will help to make the process seamless for all researchers. The qualitative design seems more intriguing as its rigors and methods transcend beyond the traditional methods. Purpose: This essay aims to shed light on the Research Process with emphasis on the qualitative approach. Summary: The essay explains 'research problem' and 'research question,' emphasizing how and why they are identified and developed. The essay also describes 'literature review,' with emphasis on why and how it is done. The essay equally explains what design means in research. Furthermore, the essay explains sample selection and the significance of sample size in research. Finally, the essay examines qualitative research vis-à-vis data collection and tools involved, data analysis and tools used, and how 'result' is reported and its significance. Conclusion: A research problem is a difficult situation, a dicey phenomenon, an event with contradictory causes or explanations, gaps in knowledge, or missing points in a theme that a researcher aims to address. Research problems are usually identified from two main sources: real-life experience, and the scholarly arena.
Clinical Learning Environment and Supervision: Experience and Satisfaction Level of Final Year Basic Students, Kaduna State College of Nursing and Midwifery, Kafanchan
Authors:   Kaduna State College of Nursing and Midwifery, Kafanchan, Nigeria, Joesph Jonathan , Adamu Mercy , Ali Babangida , Kullang John , Dele-Alonge Olajumoke ,   Crisland University, Ogun State, Nigeria
Published: December 2023

Background: Clinical Learning Environment is essentially anywhere students of healthcare disciplines learn clinical experience about patient care. Thus, Clinical placement forms a significant part of educating the nursing and midwifery students whose curriculum stipulates spending more than twice the number of hours in a clinical environment relative to the hours in the classroom necessary for competence development, integration of theoretical knowledge, clinical practice, and professionalism. This study assessed the experience and satisfaction level of nursing and midwifery students with CLE and supervision at Kaduna State College of Nursing and Midwifery, Kafanchan, and attempted to associate the program type with the study variables. Method: The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design. Stratified sampling was adopted in selecting 92 final year students of nursing and midwifery schools out of 120. Adapted CLES+T was used to collect data from the respondents. For experience and satisfaction level towards CLE and Supervision, items were scored. For each variable, score <40%, ≥40<70%, and ≥70% was considered inadequate, moderate, and adequate, respectively. Chi-square was used to test the association between variables at a significant level of 0.05. Result: The mean age of respondents was 23.6 (±0.3) years, as the majority (54.4%) were between ages 19-24 years who have had a minimum of 5 clinical placements (41.1%). The majority of the respondents reported moderate experience with CLE and supervision (71.1%), which translated to respondents who reported adequate satisfaction with CLE and supervision (77.8%). There was a statistical association between the type of program and satisfaction with CLE and supervision (χ2 =7.19, df = 2, p = 0.027), with basic midwifery programs accounting for the difference. Conclusion: Given the moderate experience with CLE and Supervision and the positive relationship between the type of program and satisfaction with CLE and Supervision where basic midwifery accounted for the difference, the management of the College and that of the General Hospital must evaluate the CLE, ensuring learning objectives can be met in all sections and units of the hospital, to better prepare students for practice.

Published: December 2023

Background: Traditional and complementary medicine has been practiced since time immemorial, with perceived social, cultural, economic, and historical influences on its use. This practice has been viewed with mixed feelings by healthcare professionals as most have reservations about such products, their safety, quality, and effectiveness. Considering the value that people place on their eyes, they do not mind using any product for maintaining good eye health and treatment of eye diseases. Aim: The objective of this study was to appraise the determinants of Traditional and complementary medicine usage among ophthalmic patients in selected hospitals in Ogun State, Nigeria. Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in two selected hospitals in Ogun State, Nigeria. Four hundred and forty respondents were purposively sampled, and data was collected by using a pretested structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26 computer software. Results: All the respondents use spiritual therapy, followed by herbs or herbal extracts (69.3%). Urine or animal waste (5.5%) is the least used Traditional and complementary medicine. The respondents use Traditional and complementary medicine because of its affordability (76.6%), availability (75.7%), accessibility (73%), and lack of trust in orthodox medicine (15%). There was a significant relationship between the sociodemographic variables (gender, age, religion, level of education, occupation, and marital status) and the choice of Traditional and complementary medicine used by the residents in the study area (p < 0.005). Conclusion: The study concluded that the Ophthalmic patients in the study area still use Traditional and Complementary medicine. The most practiced traditional and complementary medicine is spiritual therapy, irrespective of religion, gender, and age. Healthcare workers must recognize the pattern of Traditional and Complementary usage among their patients, explore what their patients are using, why they are using it, and be willing to guide them appropriately to promote their eye health.
The Moderating Role Of Employee Engagement On The Influence Of Work Life Balance On Organizational Citizenship Behavior Through Burnout
Authors: Dwicahyani Made Yurika Oka , Gorda A.A.N. Oka Suryadinatha
Published: December 2023

Employees can experience developments that can advance the company, so companies must pay attention to the behavior of employees who work in the company. As many as 62% of millennial workers in Indonesia, they are considering and planning to leave their company. This is certainly not desired by companies where the millennial generation works. Based on field observations, researchers found that there is a problem of lack of employee OCB behavior. This is indicated by company turnover data for the last year. In this research, data will be collected based on quantitative methods. Questionnaires were distributed to 53 GlobalXtreme millennial generation employees using a saturated sampling technique. Partial Least Square (PLS) software will be used for the SEM analysis of this study model. According to the findings, OCB is significantly affected by work-life balance. Involvement has been shown to strengthen the connection between work-life balance and organisational citizenship behaviour. As burnout has a detrimental effect on organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB), work-life imbalance has the same effect. Work-life balance affects OCB via a mediating factor called burnout.

Financial stability implications from the crypto-asset market
Authors: Martin Vesna
Published: December 2023

A component of digital finance that has been developed with an aim to decrease the usage of cash payments and improve financial inclusion is the crypto-asset. Concerns have been raised about the preservation of financial stability, which stands in for one of the primary objectives of central banks - along with price stability - as a result of the significant growth of the market capitalization of crypto-assets, as well as the rise in the variety of crypto-assets instruments and the volatility of their prices. Operating outside of national borders, crypto-asset trading platforms could lead to a concentration of risk and a lack of business transparency. The market for crypto-assets is growing more quickly, which highlights the need for strict regulation of that sector of the market, data collection to effectively monitor transactions, as well as providing protection for consumers and investors. The safety of all partipicants, the efficient operation of the financial system, and the maintenance of financial stability should all be guaranteed by the regulation of the crypto-asset market.

With the trend of globalization since the late 1980s, the process of financial integration has been taking place as a result of the removal of barriers to the movement of capital between countries. This paper qualitatively analyzes financial integration and financial integration indicators. In this context, special attention in the paper is devoted to the integration of the banking sector of the Republic of Serbia. The structure of the banking sector of the Republic of Serbia is examined, as well as the values of concentration and competition indicators - the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and CR5. The data was collected during a ten-year period that spans from the aftermath of the global economic crisis and continues until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, profitability indicators (ROA and ROE) in Western Balkan countries were observed from 2013 to 2020.
Bitcoin and gold as a safe haven asset during the pandemic

Published: December 2023

The pandemic that hit the world in 2020 has left unforeseeable consequences for the entire world economy. Bitcoin and gold are currencies whose prices have risen despite the crisis period. The results of the research, using Spearman's correlation coefficient, showed a statistically significant relationship between the movement of the price of bitcoin and the price of gold, which can be the basis for predicting the movement of the price of gold in the future, based on the movement of the price of bitcoin. A significant relationship was found between the movement of the bitcoin price and the increase in the number of users of bitcoin wallets, which clearly indicates an increase in the volume of trade in this currency and a wider representation of this currency. Theoretical research of behavioral economics has confirmed the hypothesis that when the financial system is exposed to a crisis, bitcoin and gold will have the characteristics of a "safe haven asset" which can be explained by the principles of behavioral economics.
Attitudes towards death and end-of-life care
Authors: Marić Dragana
Published: December 2023

End-of-life care represents a unique segment of palliative care. In the end-of-life period, the task of the involved healthcare professionals is to accompany patients during their last days, weeks or months of life to the moment of their death. The way people die has changed profoundly over the past 70 years. Health care is now the main context in which many people encounter death. The focus is on clinical interventions in the end-of-life period with the aim of defeating death, while a broader context and the significance of dying is neglected. Progressive medicalization of dying has inevitably led to changing attitudes towards death and dying in both general population and healthcare professionals. There is a struggle among healthcare professionals and individuals as well to accept the inevitability of death. There has been a growing interest in examining attitudes towards death and dying, in order to achieve a greater acceptance of death with repercussions on adequate planning and implementation of end-of-life care. A thorough understanding and estimation of attitudes to death and dying, both among general population and among health professionals, is required for the development of an effective strategy to promote end-of-life care. Due to the upcoming examination of attitudes to death and dying in Serbia, as well as exploring their influence on attitudes to end-of-life care, this paper presents the current knowledge in this area.

Precisely, the need to harmonize two policies - monetary and fiscal, which can be functional but also institutionally interdependent, in this research are set in a certain correlation that can promote the economic activities of the state that needs to stabilize market operations, especially in conditions when the increasing interdependence of states is noticeable. The need, possibilities, as well as realistic indicators of coordination of fiscal and monetary policy are monitored through research in the Republic of Serbia, but also in the member states of the European Union, looking at them comparatively, giving indicators in the pre-crisis period, but also guidelines after the economic crisis period, especially after the pandemic, as well as projections that can point to distant coordinating processes of fiscal and monetary policy

Abstract: Elisha's act of cursing the children in 2 Kings 2:23-25 raises many perceptions and even makes it difficult for readers to understand texts like this. How could a man of God utter such a curse word? Therefore, the researcher investigated this topic using a qualitative method with an exegetical approach. The researcher found that this text is not problematic if the reader can understand the purpose behind Elisha's words. Prophecy is entirely God's decision and action for the benefit of His people. This is a special task that God has given him to do on this earth. Accepting and honoring God's messengers is a form of acceptance of God through the Word that is delivered. The truth they preach is the truth of God's grace for man to attain salvation in Christ. Humans are given two choices, namely accepting the truth of God's Word or turning away from God, because God has given free will for humans to choose. The punishment given to those who reject God is the eternal punishment to come.Abstrak: Tindakan Elisa dalam mungutuk anak-anak dalam 2 Raja-Raja 2:23-25 menimbulkan banyak persepsi bahkan akhirnya menjadi hal sulit bagi pembaca untuk memahami teks-teks seperti ini.
