Published: February 2023

The study aimed to examine the comparative study of the Indonesian State Judicial Commission and the French State Judicial Commission. In the analysis, the normative analysis method is used by observing inferior information because it emphasizes more on research from various legal books, journals and previous research literature. The results of this study are the Judicial Commission even though its position is supporting to the judicial authority body. The authority of the Judicial Commission in court is not as one who decides on a case but as an enforcement agency for ethical norms. In the field of judges, the Judicial Commission is not involved in terms of organization, personnel, administration and finance. Related to this, the Judicial Commission is different from those in European countries, for example France. The Judicial Commission in France (Conseil Superieur de la Magistrature or CSM) has authority in specific areas based on technical policies and policy-making on the judicial aspect. The French Judicial Commission as well as in Europe usually has authority regarding agency management, calculation and administration of justice including in carrying out advertisements, transfers, recruitment and distributing rewards to judges. The authority of the Supreme Court is an institution that carries out the functions of the judiciary and its duties are related to adjudicating and not dealing with matters related to the administration and organization of justice.

Given that the true test of leadership does not take place when everything is going according to plan, a leader's ability to support and guide personnel will determine whether they are a good or bad leader in the sector of tourist attractions (Kamau, 2020). As with any other industry, leadership in tourist attraction is vital to the success of the industry. Success in the tourist attraction relies heavily on collaboration, partnerships, and strong leadership. With the advent of COVID-19 , leadership in the tourist attraction sector has been put to the test. Nevertheless, the one thing this health crisis has demonstrated is th at when we find ourselves in crisis, we need leadership. Therefore, the objective of this study is to fill a gap in the literature consisting in the lack of a model relating the abovementioned variables. Basically, this study will present clarity on how global leadership st yle can influence the employee work engagement and health of tourist attraction sector of the hospitality industry. Additionally, results of the study served as a realization on possible considerations on how followership style mediates organizational support as important elements for fostering a positive and effective work environment.

This research aims to examine Imam As-Sya'rani's perspective of the moral values contained in the book of Al Minah Al Saniyah. Imam As-Sya'rani's thoughts have their value in serving as a guide in inculcating moral education and character building. That becomes relevant when looking closely at the implementation of moral education, which only touches on cognitive aspects and has not yet touched on affective (inner) aspects. By touching the minds of students, moral education can shape human character with good morals. This type of research is qualitative with a literature review approach. The results of the study show that the book Al Minah Al Saniyah emphasizes the affective (inner) aspect of moral education, which includes morals to God, morals to fellow human beings, and morals to oneself. This thought can be used as a reference in instilling moral education and character education in order to form a complete human being in character.

Authors:   Faculty of Financial & Administrative Sciences, Pharos University in Alexandria, Egypt, Shalash, PhD Mostafa Ahmed
Published: February 2023

This paper aims to detect the factors that motivate Egyptian consumers to purchase online and examine the impact of demographic characteristics on this matter. Six factors are suggested to be evaluated in this research, which are: product price, product variety, product quality, product description, product delivery, and promotion. The researcher named these suggested factors by the '6P's factors'. The researcher used the quantitative approach to collect data from 300 respondents. The sample covered a wide range of consumers in Alexandria city, Egypt who have awareness of online purchase. To analyze the collected data, correlation analysis, stepwise regression, two independent samples t-test, and One-Way ANOVA were used. The importance of this research lies in the fact that it will increase the familiarity of e-retailers with the factors that motivate Egyptian consumers to purchase online and thus work to improve the factors of higher relative importance. Also, it enables Egyptian marketing managers to adopt the appropriate marketing strategies that increase the satisfaction for Egyptian consumers toward the electronic service provided. The study concluded that there is a positive correlation between all the proposed factors and Egyptian consumer's intention toward online purchase but with varying degrees in terms of correlation strength. Furthermore, the results revealed that the Egyptian consumer's intention to purchase online is influenced also by gender, age, and educational level.

Authors:   Royal Agricultural University, School of Business and Entrepreneurship, Stroud Rd, Cirencester GL7 6JS., Owoeye (PhD) Ayodeji B.
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT: Purpose: In order to contribute to the discussion that there are major differences in the financing alternatives accessible in developed and developing economies, this paper examines the relationship between a firm's financing options and shareholders' value in the context of emerging markets. Design/methodology/approach: This study analysed characteristics that could help determine how firms in Nigeria finance their operations and possibly generate value for shareholders by drawing on market timing theory and panel data regression estimation. For the years between 2007 and 2016, information from 87 non-financial companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange was used (10 years). Findings: We discover that businesses prefer equity-based financing because it increases shareholder value. The Hausman test result showed that the fixed-effects model was adequate, and the model's outcomes also closely matched those of the panel regression estimate to firmly support our findings.

The labor mirror is an instrument used by the pregnant woman to observe the descent of the fetus and to improve pushing effort in vaginal delivery. The aim of the study was to determine the views of pregnant women about labor mirror use, which is not common in Turkiye. The study was of the cross-sectional descriptive type. Women who did not have any pregnancy-related complications or comorbidities, 37–42 weeks of gestation, had a single pregnancy and volunteered were included in the sample (n=359). Questionnaire form was used in data collection. All of the participants stated that they had never heard of the labor mirror before. While 18.1% agreed with the statement "If I am offered a labor mirror for use during labor, I will be pleased", one of the positive statements regarding the use of the labor mirror during childbirth, it was determined that they did not agree with the other positive statements. It is recommended that the use of the labor mirror in Turkey be evaluated and detailed studies should be carried out in order to increase the pushing efficiency at birth and improve the mother's birth experience.

Published: February 2023

Evaluation of learning and memory enhancing efficacy of ethanolic leaf extracts of vernonia amygdalina and cymbopogon citratus was studied in alloxaninduced diabetic mice to scientifically validate its usefulness traditionally. Upon induction and confirmation of diabetes using alloxan monohydrate, forty mice were randomly divided into 8 groups of 5 mice each and treated with low and high doses of the extracts (400 and 800mg/kg). Metformin, a standard antidiabetic drug was used as a reference agent and given to group 8. Results revealed that diabetes induced memory impairment in neurobehavioural assessment and histomorphological examination of the hippocampus. However, administration of ethanolic leaf extracts of vernonia amygdalina and cymbopogon citratus reveals its neuroprotective potential by ameliorating the histological alterations in the hippocampus (CA1 region) relative to the control and attenuating the learning and memory impairments when compared with the control. Findings from this study suggests the ethanolic leaf extracts of vernonia amygdalina and cymbopogon citratus are potentially efficacious in attenuating diabetes induced memory deficit and alterations in the hippocampus of mice and could be utilized for the treatment and management of diabetes and dementia.
Sídliště únětické kultury na katastru obce Rybníky na Znojemsku
Authors: Stuchlík Stanislav
Published: February 2023

Interesting finds from an Únětice culture settlement were rescued in the town of Rybníky in the Znojmo District. The first pit contained a storage vessel with a band at the transition from the neck to the body and a second one in the lower part of the vessel. A similar division of the vessel body into three parts is known only from the Proto-Únětice culture. Also found in this same feature were four primitively rendered clay weights with a horizontal perforation (five more were found several years later). Two bowls and a pot with two handles on the rim (the first specimen of this type in Moravia) were preserved from another feature. The character of the finds from the first pit are very ancient and it is possible to consider their association with the Proto-Únětice culture. While dating the pottery from the second pit is more complicated, with a certain degree of probability it can be attributed to the Late Únětice period.

TERRITORIAL MOBILITY OF THE ROMANIAN POPULATION. CAUSES AND EFFECTS
Authors: MINDRICAN Ioana Manuela , MATEI Elena-Florentina
Published: February 2023

For the first time in human history, more people are living in urban areas than in rural areas. Every year, millions of people decide to leave their rural homes and migrate to cities across the country or even across the border. Most of these people want to move to seek new job opportunities and, of course, to improve their lives, while others are forced to migrate because of sudden or slow-onset conflicts or natural disasters, such as rising sea levels, droughts and floods, which are often exacerbated by climate change and environmental stress. In addition, rural populations, whose livelihoods depend to a large extent on agriculture, are particularly vulnerable to pressures from migration. This article aims to provide an overview of rural-urban migration in Romania, detailing the causes and effects of this process. Romanian citizens from rural areas move to the country’s big cities to enjoy the facilities offered by urban areas. In the current context, migration is the population’s impulse from one topographical location to another, thus connecting temporary or permanent settlements. However, this process, like any other, brings with it both positive and negative economic, social and demographic consequences, which will be discussed in detail in this article.

AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON THE INFLUENCES OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE, AND FINANCIAL REPORTING DISCLOSURES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF NON-FINANCIAL LISTED COMPANIES
Authors: BOGDAN Victoria , POPA Dorina Nicoleta , BELENEŞI Mărioara
Published: February 2023

This paper seeks to analyze the impact of disclosures on managers’ characteristics, business climate information, and key accounting policy variables on financial performance. Data were extracted from the annual reports of the non-financial listed companies on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. Fifty-seven companies from eight industries have been investigated over five years. The least-squares method for panel data (Panel Least Squares) was used in estimating eight models that proved to be valid for the Fisher test. The findings showed that a high level of disclosure of information about managers increases performance. In contrast, the increased disclosure of business climate information and the average degree of internal control is leading to lower company performance. From the analysis of key accounting policy variables, the estimated models showed that the overall level of provisions has a significant positive influence on the performance of the companies. In two models also the estimates of decommissioning costs of tangible assets have a significant positive impact on performance. A significant negative impact on performance is exerted by uncertainties in recognition, accounting valuation, or presentation of assets, judgments, and assumptions on contingencies, litigation risks, and R&D innovation costs. The existence of the audit report and the type of auditor do not significantly influence the performance of the examined companies. However, the existence of the corporate governance report is significantly and positively impacting financial performance.

In recent decades, technological development has experienced significant acceleration, and smart devices are now widely available. Romanian e-commerce market, although ahead of countries like Greece, Portugal, Italy or Bulgaria, has still a long way to go before reaching its full potential. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the online shopping behaviour of Romanians. For this, we analyzed statistic data on internet access and online purchases and discussed the findings of an online purchase behaviour survey of 580 Romanian respondents. The main findings of the survey suggest that, while 64 percent of respondents prefer online shopping to the classic non-virtual shopping, the top three risks that worry potential online Romanian buyers are: fake online reviews, uncertain quality of goods, and unreliable match. 5G technologies, ultra-fast smart devices, lack of borders in online commerce are already present, so the future belongs to those who will know how to adapt and anticipate the needs of online shoppers.

Published: February 2023

The effectiveness of using of the ITS region as a DNA barcode for the genetic identification of plants of rare and

protected species of Ranunculaceae included in the Red Book of the Republic of Belarus was demonstrated. The DNA

barcoding technique allowed, using both the ITS region and a more compact intergenic spacer ITS2, demonstrating that

11 Ranunculaceae species belonging to two subfamilies and seven genera are clearly distinguishable at the molecular

level. The phylogenetic relationship between eleven studied species built on the basis of the nucleotide variability of

the ITS region is fully consistent with the existing taxonomy of this family based on morphological and cytological

features. The results obtained make it possible to consider the ITS2 region as a mini barcode for rapid or additional

identification.

Published: February 2023

Molecular genetic and functional analysis allowed the identification and characterization of a number of new genetic

determinants affecting the synthesis of pyoverdine by P. brassicacearum strain S-1. It was established that inactivation

of genes encoding Zn-dependent peptidase (mtfA), peptidase of the C39 (GFU70_09550) family, transmembrane sensor

protein (bvgS), heme transporter (ccmC), and protein with unknown function (ydgA) led to changes in fluorescence,

efficacy of pyoverdine synthesis and antimicrobial activity in P. brassicacearum strain S-1. A previously undescribed

genetic locus that determines the synthesis of pyoverdin was found in the chromosome of the studied bacteria. It

was shown that the directed inactivation of this locus led to the complete absence of fluorescence and the production

of pyoverdine by P. brassicacearum strain S-1, as well as to the loss of the ability to suppress the growth of the

phytopathogenic strain Fusarium oxysporum BIM F-798.

Authors: Clifford Chilasa Agbaeze , Peter Damian Ezechi Chukwu , Josephine Edem Nsoja
Published: February 2023

The benefit of international trade had not been noticed in the economic growth of Nigeria because some of the goods imported into the country were those that can cause damage to local industries by rendering their products inferior and being neglected, thereby reducing the growth rate of output of such industries which later spread to the aggregate economy. The work investigated the extent to which international trade impacted global economic development with particular reference to the Nigerian economy between 1986 and 2018. The data employed for this study are annual time series data covering 1986-2018. The data were obtained from the World Bank data outlook and the central bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin. This study adopts the statistical method of multiple linear regression approach using ordinary least squares to examine the relationship between RGDP as a dependent variable and degree of openness, foreign exchange rate, and interest rate as independent variables. The paper revealed that a relationship exists between international trade and economic growth and that while some components of international trade exerted a positive and significant effect on growth, INTR exerted a positive but insignificant effect. The result further shows that all the regressors except interest rates were statistically significant at a 5% level of significance. Some policy recommendations which would be helpful and applicable to the Nigerian economy were suggested. For the degree of openness, Nigeria should adopt more policies on trade liberalization like reducing non-tariff barriers, reducing barriers, and eliminating quotas that will enable the economy to grow at a spectacular rate. The finding for exchange rate implies that the policymakers should adopt long-term policies because, in the long run, a strong currency depends on economic fundamentals. To have a strong exchange rate, countries will need a combination of a low inflation rate, productivity growth, and economic and political stability.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the awareness of communication and interaction among the vast majority of people from all over the world. The increase in this awareness has also caused a change in the understanding of management and leadership. Since ancient philosophers, 'leadership' has been regarded as one of the most important, perhaps even the most important, factor affecting the success or failure of an organization. For this reason, understanding the executive leadership styles will have the potential to contribute to business life in general, as well as providing new intuitions to researchers interested in management science.

Leaders are people who can increase the organizational commitment of employees with their characteristics, management and direction skills and methods. In order for today's organizations to be successful and to continue their existence, the necessity of adopting contemporary leadership approaches as well as classical leadership approaches has emerged. In this direction, the aim of this study is to introduce the leadership styles by scanning the literature and to contribute to the specific areas of knowledge that are missing. This study presents leadership and its definitions, historical review of leadership, leadership theory, leadership styles and general theoretical framework.
Analyzing Wireless Mesh Network Using Spectral Graph Theory

Published: February 2023

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are a type of wireless network that can be used for various applications, such as Internet access, disaster response, and military communication. These networks consist of mesh routers that can communicate with each other and form a mesh topology, allowing them to provide connectivity even if some of the routers fail or are out of range. In this study, we used spectral graph theory to analyze the performance of a WMN. For the analysis process, software was developed to calculate the topological characteristics of the graph representing the WMN. The correlation between the values of the parameters of spectral graph theory and the topological characteristics of the observed network is analyzed. First, an analysis of the influence of the change in signal strength, in the observed WMN, on the algebraic connectivity was performed, and then the change in the spectral radius was also analyzed. The analysis was performed using special software, which was developed for that purpose.

Objective. The purpose of this study was to describe the perceptions and satisfaction of the graduates and trainees of the fellowship programs of the Philippine General Hospital - Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences (PGH DOVS).Methods. A uniform survey was conducted among all graduates and ongoing trainees of the External Disease and Cornea, Medical and Surgical Vitreo-Retina, Glaucoma, Orbit and Oculoplastics, and Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus fellowship programs. The survey link was emailed to all the participants.Results. Response rate was 74%. Majority of graduates were clustered in the National Capital Region (NCR) (56.4%), and Luzon excluding NCR (46.4%). Majority of the graduates perceived that the objectives of their fellowship program were met (60%). Overall, 65.4% of the fellows assessed their training as completely adequate. Strengths identified were volume of patients, level of independence, and consultant supervision. Weaknesses identified were the lack of specialized instruments, lack of inter-department exposures, and difficulties in the conduct of research.Conclusion. Majority were satisfied with their training and would recommend their training program to others despite the difficulties and deficiencies identified. Some of the perceived weaknesses observed by the graduates have been addressed since their graduation from their program. This is the first attempt to assess post-residency fellowship programs in ophthalmology in the Philippines.
Dorsal Midbrain Syndrome from Thalamocapsuloganglionic Hemorrhage: A Case Report
Authors: Cabrera Julian David P. , Mesina Brian Vincent Q.
Published: February 2023

Dorsal midbrain syndrome (DMS) is a supranuclear palsy of vertical gaze characterized by conjugate upgaze palsy, light-near dissociation, convergence-retraction nystagmus, lid retraction, and skew deviation. Majority of cases are due to primary midbrain lesions such as strokes or neoplasms, or due to pineal gland tumors compressing the said area. Presented here is the case of a 57-year-old male who came in with a chief complaint of diplopia and the typical signs of DMS. Cranial tomography scan revealed a parenchymal hemorrhage at the left thalamocapsuloganglionic region, a rarely reported site of a primary lesion causing DMS. In this case, the syndrome may have been a consequence of the mass effects and perilesional edema associated with the thalamocapsuloganglionic hemorrhage, or may have been due to disruption of supranuclear inputs to the dorsal mibdrain. This case provides further evidence that DMS may arise from lesions without obvious involvement of the said region. This case also highlights the importance of a thorough physical examination to elicit the findings associated with DMS, and the need to correlate these with a keen analysis of diagnostic test results.

Authors: Santiago Alvina Pauline D. , Cariño Noel S
Published: February 2023

Children with weak or absent capsular support requiring lens removal and intraocular lens implantation presentas one of the more challenging cases in pediatric ophthalmology practice. The authors present a case series with postoperative follow-up of at least five years after retropupillary fixation of iris-clipped lenses. All cases had improved visual acuity with only minor focal iris atrophy as complication in one case. Retropupillary fixation of iris-clipped IOL should be included in an ophthalmologist's armamentarium when operating on cases with weak or absent capsular support.

Published: February 2023

Objectives. Video-based learning of surgical skills is a useful complement in training programs. This is more evident where direct patient exposure is limited due to multiple factors. In ophthalmic surgery, access to high quality ocular surgery videos such as for cataract operations, can provide significant learning points for trainees in an institutional program. Creation therefore of a local, curated, and indexed library of cataract surgery would support alternative means to maximize training of new ophthalmic surgeons. The objective of the project was to develop a local library of cataract surgery videos as an adjunct teaching tool for resident trainees in a Philippine tertiary eye care center.Methods. A collection of cataract surgery videos from 2013-2020 were compiled into a single workstation. Videos were reviewed and catalogued using set keywords for easy searchability and labelling.Results. 256 videos of cataract surgeries were compiled into the library. 6 main headings for the keywords, with 159 total subheadings were established to provide robust tagging and search options to index the video.Conclusion. Particularly in Ophthalmic surgery, refinement of surgical technique is essential in ensuring better postoperative visual outcomes. This is achieved through repetition and careful dissection of operative technique. The use of a library with multiple videos of a similar procedure allows trainees more exposure to certain cases. This ultimately affords trainees, better experience and confidence in their own surgeries.
