Published: September 2024

This paper investigates the potential use of information systems (IS) for enhancing the supply chains of organisations positioned in the intellectual property (IP) sector. Exploratory research has been conducted through the lens of a patent and trade mark agent who is involved in advising on a range of IP issues. The research highlights the opportunities offered by IS (including online technologies) for generally improving the provision of business services e.g. automating supply chain processes. More specifically, though, it investigates the potential IS have for integrating information flows and providing timely, in-depth and better presented information and the options for online filing. It also explores the capabilities for improving interactions with clients and enhancing relationships with key stakeholders in the supply chain e.g. government agencies, overseas patent agents and lawyers. The paper additionally outlines key challenges that are at the forefront and need to be addressed when using IS within the IP sector such as identity management, security and authentication. The key findings of the research will be of value to researchers and practitioners in the IP field but many of the issues and challenges faced will also be applicable to other sectors.

Authors: Audu Khadeejah  James , Babatunde Onıfade
Published: September 2024

The resolution of systems of first-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) stands as a pivotal pursuit with extensive implications across scientific and engineering domains. In tackling this fundamental task, this study undertakes a rigorous comparative assessment of two semi-analytic methodologies, the Variational Iterative Method (VIM) and the New Iterative Method (NIM). Motivated by the need to address a critical research gap, our investigation delves into these approaches' relative merits and demerits. Firstly, it conducts a comprehensive examination of VIM, a well-established method, juxtaposed with NIM, a relatively unexplored approach, to uncover their comparative strengths and limitations. Secondly, the study contributes to the existing knowledge in numerical methods for ODEs by shedding light on essential performance characteristics, including convergence properties, computational efficiency, and accuracy, across a diverse array of ODE systems. Through meticulous numerical experimentation, we not only reveal practical insights into the efficacy of VIM and NIM but also bridge a significant knowledge gap in the field of numerical ODE solvers. Our findings highlight VIM as the more effective method, thus advancing our understanding of semi-analytic approaches for solving ODE systems and furnishing valuable guidance for practitioners and researchers in selecting the most suitable method for their specific applications

Exploring the Cultural Dimensions of Translation: A Critical Analysis of Snell-Hornby's Approach
Authors: Dr. Hanan Mahgoub Hamed Mohamad
Published: September 2024

This paper analyzes Mary Snell-Hornby's seminal theoretical framework for understanding translation as an inherently cultural process. Snell-Hornby was pioneering in establishing that translation requires navigating differences in worldviews and cultural competence. Key concepts explored are culture-bound language elements, the role of expertise, and translation studies' interdisciplinarity. Practical linguistic and textual challenges posed by cultural variation are examined, along with proposed strategies for references and idioms. Case studies reveal cultural influences on translation processes and outcomes. A critical evaluation identifies strengths like emphasizing culture's centrality, and limitations addressed in later frameworks. Potential areas for further research building on Snell-Hornby's foundations are identifying, such as localized case studies, evolving digital implications, and refinement of guidance. Overall, Snell-Hornby established culture as integral to conceptualizing translation's complexities, with implications for both theory development and stewardship of cross-cultural exchange.

It is concluded that the sunk cost cognitive bias significantly influences the decisions and behavior of a vast majority of customers, and how companies can use this information to design effective marketing campaigns.
Error Analysis of Grammatical Features in Saudi Undergraduate EFL Writing
Authors: Neimat Idris Moh.Saeed Omer
Published: September 2024

Mastery of English grammatical accuracy is paramount for developing proficiency as a foreign language. However, research examining tendencies among Saudi undergraduate writers remains limited. This study aimed to address such gaps through a comprehensive identification and categorization of errors present in student essays. A rigorous mixed-methods approach analyzed over 350 grammatical mistakes across 50 female students' writing samples. Errors were systematically coded and categorized to reveal frequency data through quantitative analysis. Findings demonstrated spelling, subject-verb agreement, and capitalization as the most prevalent issue areas, collectively accounting for over 75% of errors. Examples uncovered specific challenges involving verb tense, sentence fragments, and article usage. While outcomes aligned with previous literature, linguistic influences on persistent spelling difficulties were explored to broaden understandings. Recommendations for targeted exercises strengthening weaker domains like phonics rules and irregular verbs were provided. Continuing periodic error analyses can optimally inform evolving pedagogy tailored to emerging needs over time. Significantly, this novel diagnostic approach begins addressing critical literature gaps through data-driven insights that meaningfully inform curriculum development to better support the still under-researched Saudi EFL student population.

Authors: Andrés Ramírez Portilla  , Oscar Everardo Flores Choperena  , Diego Martínez de Velasco Amaro  , Isabel Rodríguez López  , Alan Joel Ochoa Ramos
Published: September 2024

The “Radiography of the Teaching of University Entrepreneurship in Mexico” is situated within the context of the necessity to comprehend and enhance the pedagogical practices associated with entrepreneurship in Mexican universities. This context encompasses a global examination of entrepreneurship and its prevailing trends, as well as a detailed analysis of the entrepreneurial landscape in Mexico. The principal objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive examination of the pedagogical approaches employed in higher education institutions (HEIs) in Mexico with regard to the teaching of entrepreneurship. The objective is to establish a unified approach to entrepreneurship teaching, identify the most effective pedagogical tools for fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, and disseminate the requisite technical knowledge among educators to facilitate their integration into the classroom. The methodology employed begins with a review of secondary sources to provide a detailed overview of the global and Mexican entrepreneurship landscapes, as well as the current state of entrepreneurship education in higher education institutions (HEIs). In conclusion, the Delphi technique is employed to conduct interviews with experts directly involved in the teaching of entrepreneurship in various HEIs, with the objective of collecting and synthesizing their opinions on the subject matter. The research yielded a “Teaching Model of Entrepreneurship in the University,” which is based on the identified approaches, models, and methodologies. The teacher plays a pivotal role in the teaching of entrepreneurship in higher education institutions (HEIs). The findings indicate that in Mexico, the probability of success or opportunity for entrepreneurs is significantly influenced by the material conditions of the individual, which are shaped by their social stratum and geographical location. Furthermore, data indicates that all HEIs endeavor to impart instruction on entrepreneurship. However, due to significant disparities between private and public institutions, smaller or more remote ones may lack the capacity and resources to do so effectively. Therefore, this results in heterogeneity in the teaching of entrepreneurship, which could condition the chances of success for those wishing to become entrepreneurs. Consequently, the necessity was identified for all entrepreneurship teachers in HEIs in Mexico to be able to achieve a robust and comprehensive process of teaching entrepreneurship, whereby students can develop their entrepreneurial skills at an early stage, as well as the creation of companies at a later stage.

Background: Nurse-patient communication is a unique clinical skill in the healthcare professions that promotes good quality care and patient outcomes. This communication can be disrupted by many barriers that impact the therapeutic relationship and deliver of care. Purpose: The study aims to identify the barriers affecting nurse-patient communication at primary health centers in Almadina Munawara City, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among 212 nurses and 214 patients utilizing a self-reporting questionnaire. A version of the same file was then uploaded into NVivo, and data that were coded under all communication barriers including language discordance among patients and healthcare providers (e. g., subtheme: patient prefers a mother tongue speaking doctor), cultural-religious difference and environmental cues between the involved parties to determine their importance in this context as well (see Table 2). Results: The results showed that language, cultural and environmental differences had an extensive influence on how nurses communicated with patients. Key barriers included nurse shortages, limited communication time and low income. Our results suggest that these barriers differ in their effect with language barrier and habitat disturbance being the most important ones. Conclusions: This study concludes that nurse-patient communication is a complex multi-sectional process, constrained by numerous barriers. Strategic intervention aimed at addressing these barriers can strengthen nurse-patient interaction and accelerate patient care. Communication remains a cornerstone in all the best practices of delivering healthcare effectively and keeping patients happy.

Batu baraguang is music performed on massive stone gong chimes found ins Luhak 50 Koto, Minangkabau, Indonesia. Very little has been written nor investigated regarding much of the megalithic remains found throughout Sumatra and Nias. The researchers employed a qualitative methodology in this investigation. As the primary data collection instruments, they utilized observation, interviews, document analysis, and data interpretation. The study adopted an ethnographic approach, which placed a strong emphasis on observational techniques. The instrument consists of six stones placed on a bamboo cushion. Rhythmic motifs are played by three people in a cross-legged sitting position. Each player hits two stone slabs that have different pitch levels. The interlocking tones produce cumulative short melodies which are recognized as discrete melodies or pieces. In this article we seek to describe the musical system as evidenced in these stone chimes, and the manner of batu baraguang performance. We deployed both qualitative descriptive methods coupled with quantitative techniques in pitch measurements. The ensemble consists of six talempong stone slabs which we call B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, and B6. The pieces are based on indigenous concepts called palau, tongah and panyudahi. Each of these corresponds to three pairs of stones performed by three players. We contend based on the findings of this research that the ancestors of the Minangkabau people in the Megalithic era already possessed an aesthetic musical identity as exemplified through the medium of this stone chime.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to explore the musical identity of Thai contemporary jazz artists by examining their attitude, musical content, and music creation process. Thirteen informants participated in this qualitative study through in-depth interviews. The results demonstrated that musical identity could be divided into three categories: 1) regional musical identity, 2) individual musical identity and 3) cultural musical identity. The factors associated with the emergence of musical identity include musical movements and phenomena, integration between two musical styles in terms of articulation and contextual elements, and contemporary and hybrid-crossover music approaches in today’s world. These factors, along with social interactions both within and outside the jazz community, affect the transformation of musical identity. The findings of this study will help Thai jazz artists and those involved in the jazz industry effectively build their musical identity, create value for their music, and elevate their works to an international level.

Exercise-Induced Lymphocyte Apoptosis and Relationship with Level of Lactate in Smokers and Non-Smokers
Authors: Park Kyung-Shin , Lee Yang
Published: September 2024

Purposes of this study were 1) to examine the exercise intensity where lymphocyte apoptosis index (AI) is significantly increased in smokers and non-smokers, 2) to find out whether AI is associated with level of lactate (L). METHODS: Fourteen healthy untrained smokers (≥ 1 pack year, n=7) and non-smokers (n=7) aged 18 to 26 were recruited. Each subject conducted three treadmill runs at different intensities randomly. Running distance for all three runs was equivalent to 30 minute run at 70% VO2max. AI and L were analyzed at rest (Pre), immediately after (Post), and 1 h following (1 h post) each run. Data was analyzed using two way repeated measures ANOVA. RESULTS: Smokers showed higher AI than non-smokers at Post in 60% (12.5±0.62% vs. 9.97±0.51, p<.008) and 70% VO2max running trials (17.53±0.57% vs. 15.6±0.41, p<.018). All L values at post showed significantly higher than Pre and 1 h post, but there was no significant difference between smokers and non-smokers. The strong positive relationship between AI and L was detected (r=.739, smokers vs. r=.793, non-smokers). CONCLUSION: Smokers tend to have higher AI than non-smokers following runs at 60% and 70% VO2max, but not following a run at 80% VO2max. An increase in AI following a run at 60% VO2max indicates that lymphocyte apoptosis can be increased following moderate intensity exercise. Since L and AI at post were increased in dose-dependent manner to exercise intensity, it is suggested that an increase in lactate production during exercise might contribute to the increase in lymphocyte apoptosis.

Citra sebagai salah satu komponen multimedia memegang satu peranan sangat penting sebagai bentuk informasi visual. Citra memiliki karakteristik yang tidak dimiliki oleh teks, yaitu citra kaya dengan informasi. Meskipun sebuah citra kaya akan informasi, namun seringkali citra yang kita miliki mengalami penurunan mutu (degradasi) citra yaitu penurunan kualitas citra, misalnya karena mengandung cacat atau derau (noise), Metode Adaptive Median Filter (AMF) merupakan metode yang dirancang untuk menghilangkan masalah yang dihadapi dengan standar median filter. Adaptive median filter memiliki tujuan ganda yaitu menghapus impuls noise pada gambar dan mengurangi distorsi pada gambar. Filter ini juga memperhalus noise. Oleh karena itu penulis tertarik untuk melakukan “Implementasi Noise Removal Dan Image Enhancement Pada Citra Digital Dengan Menggunakan Metode Adaptive Median Filter”. Hal ini dilakukan agar mengetahui hasil perbaikan kualitas dari citra yang diberi noise. Output yang akan dihasilkan dalam tugas akhir ini yaitu penulis membahas bagaimana sebuah citra yang awalnya mempunyai kualitas yang baik setelah itu diberi noise, kemudian diterapkan proses filtering dengan menggunakan metode adaptive median filter dan perbaikan kualitas citra dengan menggunakan image enhancement.

Published: September 2024

Shalat adalah rukun Islam yang kedua dan ia merupakan rukun yang sangat di tekankan sesudah dua kalimat syahadat. Sholat adalah penghubung antara seorang hamba dengan Rabbnya. Doa adalah dua macam yaitu doa ibadah dan doa permohonan. Kedekatan Allah dengan hamba-Nya terbagi dua macam yaitu; kedekatan ilmu-Nya dengan setiap mahlukNya dan kedekatan dengan hamba-Nya dalam memberikan setiap permohonan, pertolongan dan taufik kepada mereka. Pembelajaran gerakan shalat dan doa seharusnya dilatih dari usiadini (anak-anak). Bimbingan orang tua maupun guru merupakan cara yang paling utama dalam memberikan media pembelajaran. Selama ini pembelajaran konvensional berupa buku membuat anak-anak menjadi bosan sehingga dibutuhkan kreativitas atau metode pembelajaran yang interaktif, salah satunya adalah pembelajaran berbasis multimedia.
