Authors: Fujiasih Asih
Published: March 2024

Health information technology is evolving. Remote vital signs monitoring based on the Internet of Things (IoT) is an application that can improve the accessibility of health care. Vital sign measurement uses a sensor tool which data is automatically sent via IoT system, procesed and can be viewed through an application on mobile device or web. This system consists of concept, input, process, and output. This literature review aimed to find out the concept of Remote Vital Signs Monitoring Based on IoT System, input, process, and output. The methode used is through a search at Remote Lib Ui which is then selected through PRISMA methodology, so that is found 12 literature. Trough the literature review, three main concepts were obtained, namely monitoring at home, monitoring in the inpatient room, monitoring during sports.   On input aspect, various sensor tools are used, three of which are integrated with the EWS/MEWS system. On the process aspect, there are microcontroller and connectivity that must be considered. . On the output aspect, three tools already have application feature designs, most of the results are displayed in the form of numbers and graphics, three of which are able to display results in the form of EWS/MEWS.. Measuring tools still need to be developed to be more integrated, simple, and accurate. Feature development and cost considerations need to be made. Subsequent studies can applied to the system in the context of an outpatient integrated with Electronic Health Record.

Poor personal hygiene practices can affect the incidence of infectious diseases which in turn can increase the risk of stunting. Several factors influence the practice of personal hygiene in the care of under-five children, namely the level of education and income of parents. The research was to analyze the relationship between parents' education and income level with personal hygiene practices in under-five children's care. The research design is a quantitative correlation with secondary data sources. The population is parents who have under-five children in Sukamulya Village, Bandung. Samples were taken using an accidental sampling technique with a total of 85 respondents, excluding parents whose children died in the under-five age range or whose children were 5 years old at the time of data collection. The instrument is a questionnaire consisting of demographic data and 7 questions related to personal hygiene practices in caring for under-five children. The data were analyzed using the Spearman test. The results showed that there was no relationship between the educational (p-value=0.16) and income (p-value=0.887) level of parents with personal hygiene practices in caring for under-five children in Sukamulya Village, Bandung. The next research suggestion is to examine other factors that influence personal hygiene practices in caring for under-five children.

Prefiguring the Environmental Justice Movement: the Ecodramaturgy of Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun
Authors: May Theresa J.
Published: March 2024

Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun (1958) exposed environmental racism and prefigured the tenants of environmental justice by depicting the impacts of poverty and environmental degradation on communities of color. Thirty years before the rise of the current environmental justice movement, Hansberry’s play details the intersectional aims of environmental justice by centering women's experience, by making connections between the health and well-being of women and children, and the larger environment. In this way, an ecodramaturical lens illuminates the power and potential of theatre to inspire civic action. Hansberry’s play stands as a keystone in the rhetorical architecture of the environmental justice movement, which insists that environmental policy must include consideration of where people live, work, play, and worship.  As a historiographic lens, ecodramaturgy can (re)illuminate canonical plays to show their ecological through-lines. Examining the representation of life experience, asking questions about the welfare of bodies, families, and communities affected by racism and economic injustice, ecodramaturgy illuminates canonical plays in new ways, revealing how ideologies of domination and white supremacy that have caused both social and ecological havoc across the land. Rob Nixon (2013) identifies the environmental degradation resulting from longstanding patterns of U.S. imperialism as “slow violence” perpetrated on the world’s poorest and most vulnerable communities. As the environmental justice movement would argue some 30 years later, Hansberry’s play makes clear that environmental health and social justice are inextricably linked, and that ecological concerns must be understood as intertwined with economic justice as well as gender and racial equity. Below, I examine the way environmental and social justice concerns came together in this hallmark play, revealing a (then) radical ecological viewpoint that the environment is coupled with human health and welfare. I contend that the white supremacy that the Youngers face when they plan to move to a new home not only constitutes systemic environmental racism but reflects and arises out of the historic abuse of land and bodies on which the U.S.extractive economies depend. My analysis traces the subtle ways those legacies infect and damage the day-to-day lives of those who carry the disproportional burdens of that historic abuse. I foreground clues to the ecologies represented on stage, including human bodies and habitat, in order to examine the environmental implications of the Youngers’ struggle and racial and class-based oppression and hierarchies the play represents. Hansberry’s claim to homeplace in the milieu 1950s foreshadows the principles of environmental justice in prescient ways.
Effect of SB Addition on Mechanical, Electronic and Thermodynamic Properties of Intermetallic B2-Nial: First Principles Study
Authors: Bouchentouf Mohamed Amine , Abdiche Ahmed , Ghaffor Djamel , Mokadem Azzeddine , Beloufa Nabil , Bekheira Samir
Published: March 2024

This study investigates the mechanical, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of B2 NiAl alloyed with Sb, ranging from 0% to 100%. The calculations were conducted using the WIEN2k code based on the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within the density functional theory (DFT) framework. Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) was employed to approximate the exchange-correlation energy. Our analysis of formation enthalpy indicates a preference for Sb to substitute Al sites. Furthermore, we have observed that the mechanical properties of NiAl can be enhanced by adjusting the chemical composition of Sb. Specifically, an increase in antimony content from 0% to 75% results in a notable improvement in ductility tensile, elevating it from 1.92 to 10.72. Conversely, this alteration diminishes the material's strength.

Moreover, both the band structures and density of states (DOS) indicate the metallic behavior exhibited by all NiAl1-xSbx compounds. In addition, we employ the Gibbs2 code to calculate thermodynamic properties, shedding light on the influence of temperature and pressure on the volume, heat capacity, Debye temperature and entropy S of NiAl1-xSbx.
Fostering Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility in Higher Education: The Case of Tor Vergata University of Rome
Authors: Di Gerio Chiara , Fiorani Gloria , Paciullo Giuseppe
Published: March 2024

In the panorama of international strategies and commitments to sustainability, education is central to the pursuit of sustainable development. Educational institutions at all levels are playing a new role in promoting values and ideals linked to sustainable behavioral models. These models can face the complexity of reality in a cooperative, active and responsible way, leading to a vision for solidarity and progress. In this context, universities face huge challenges. They must recognize the changes happening in society and change accordingly. Universities are therefore increasingly required to actively introduce attitudes and behaviors that favor sustainable development and involve the entire academic community in this process. This paper aims to define the role of universities in sustainable development. As well as training professionals, their roles and responsibilities mean that they strongly influence the societies in which they operate. To become sustainable and ensure that their respective territories follow suit, universities must change internally and initiate systemic processes to engage all members of their communities. Moreover, dynamic bottom-up models of learning and dissemination of environmental sustainability and social responsibility should aim to encourage students to be active inside and outside their universities. After a detailed literature review, this paper explores how sustainable development should be used in educational paths as well as didactic activities to influence the way students think, act and engage within their academic communities. Based on the objective of this work, the case of the Tor Vergata University of Rome is used to describe the results of the active change.
The Socio-Economic Value of Protected Areas. The Bucegi Natural Park
Authors: Grigorescu Adriana , Frinculeasa Madalina-Nicoleta , Chitescu Razvan-Ion
Published: March 2024

Natural ecosystems are extremely exposed to the ever-increasing changes in population growth and the expanded need for resources. The economic capitalization of their constituent elements makes their degradation and conversion more profitable than conserving them. Nevertheless, mankind is mindful of nature’s value, and over time has developed its policy and means of protection and conservation to help it integrate its actions so that they respect the paradigm of sustainable development. Most of the ecosystem’s functions are, also, economic. The process of determining the economic value of an ecosystem is a laborious approach that involves specific instruments that depend on many variables. These variables are induced by the innate/ natural transformations of the biogeographical environment or by particular situations generated by extreme phenomena. This study addresses the economic value of natural areas (with the example of the Bucegi Natural Park –B.N.P.) in a methodological context focused on international studies, with results in certain protected areas in Romania. The established report managed to provide an economic value obtained both from the revenues generated from the costs for visitors and jobs and through the capitalization of the non-commercial benefits. As an important element in our investigation, we took into consideration the pressures and menaces identified in protected areas. Natural activities (geological and geomorphological events, climate changes) and anthropogenic events (e.g. development of residential and commercial spaces, transport corridors and services, tourism activities) associated with negative elements (pollution, hunting and overfishing, degradation) involve costs. Dedicated by ever-changing legislation, inadequate financial support, and a faulty management approach, they tend to balance the scale against the benefits. The economic valorization of the components defining a protected natural area serves as an advantage for all involved parts. This must be performed within the limits of the actual legal framework but in the spirit of protection and respect for nature in all its’ forms.
Knowledge Dynamics in Family Business
Authors: Motoc Adrian
Published: March 2024

Knowledge is one of the most important and fundamental resources of a company, providing it with the means to develop a competitive advantage and be innovative in the dynamic market, through creating, sharing, and transferring it within the firm. Family business distinguishes itself from others through the family connection that sets its mark on how the company is run and its highly contextual culture. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to gain a deeper understanding of how knowledge transfer occurs in family businesses. This qualitative study aims to gather empirical data using the case study methodology by applying semi-structured interviews. The cases comprise family businesses from Romania acting in different industries. The analyzed family businesses, when it comes to knowledge transfer, rely on their social interaction and are reluctant towards processes that imply externalization of their knowledge mainly out of convenience and the fact that this process did not prove its need. This leads to both positive and negative effects on the growth of the company and its longevity.
Macroeconomic Factors and Capital Markets. Selected Experiences in Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Nicolescu Luminița
Published: March 2024

The relationship between capital markets and macroeconomic variables is well documented in developed financial markets, but still developing in emerging financial markets. This paper looks at young financial markets from Central and Eastern Europe, focusing on two markets in the region: Romania and Hungary. Capital markets in these countries are analyzed from the perspective of two of their components: stock exchange markets and mutual funds markets and the effects of five macroeconomic variables (population, GDP/capita, inflation, unemployment, and savings) on the two components assessed. From a methodological point of view, the multiple regression analysis is employed for the period 2003-2019. The analysis is conducted in a comparative manner from two viewpoints: comparing stock exchanges with mutual funds markets and the role played by the macro-level determinants in the development of each and comparing the two national financial markets with one another. The study concludes that macroeconomic factors influence more the development of the stock exchanges than the development of mutual funds and that in the analyzed period, in Romania the impact of the macroeconomic factors on capital markets was stronger than in Hungary.

Food Security Management for Indonesia: The Strategy during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Darma Surya , Darma Dio Caisar
Published: March 2024

Food security is very important and is also prone to problems when faced with disaster situations, including diseases such as Covid-19 pandemic. The objectivity of this article is to highlight food security in relation to the availability of access to food sources so that it can meet basic or primary needs in Indonesia. An in-depth literature study with an epistemological positivism approach is needed to answer the problems that make the food crisis the main focus. To ensure food security in Indonesia, the government has prepared various strategies in three important agendas (emergency, temporary, and permanent) to monitor the stability of prices for basic necessities so that they do not skyrocket, increase national food production based on smallholder agriculture, and support small farmers. To achieve this, the Indonesian government has reallocated a larger budget to allocate it to seed assistance, labor-intensive programs, stabilization of food stocks and prices, paying attention to food distribution, and transportation. The implications are expected to make a significant contribution to other countries in anticipation of the food security crisis due to the impact of COVID-19.
Long-Memory Models in Testing the Efficiency Market Hypothesis of the Algerian Exchange Market
Authors: Benzai Yassine , Aouad Hadjar Soumia , Djellouli Nassima
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the Efficiency Market Hypothesis (EMH) from the perspective of the Algerian exchange rate market. We apply different tests of dependence, long memory, volatility clustering and unit root tests over the three main Algerian exchange rate returns series vis–à-vis the US Dollar, the Euro, and the British Pound. Empirical findings suggest that combined Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA)-Fractionally Integrated Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic (FIGARCH) models were the most appropriate to represent the behavior of exchange rate returns. We also compare the predictive qualities of the estimated models and the Random Walk (RW) in terms of out-of-sample forecasting. The results are held to imply the rejection of the EMH in the Algerian exchange rate market. Therefore, the exchange rates fluctuations can be predicted, which may help public authorities intervene in the exchange market and assess the consequences of different economic policies.
In Pursuit of Happiness: How Realistic is the American Dream? Understanding and Seizing Inequality
Authors: Stober Emmanuel Olusegun
Published: March 2024

Recognized as the land of the free, the United States has provided the economic stage for many to craft their slice of the American dream. More questionable is that about 11.4% of its citizens are living below the national poverty line despite the national wealth. However, the acceptance that poverty for some is an unfortunate consequence of free markets is present among a strong majority of the American population. By using a ballpark method from, the Gini Coefficient, Equivalence Adjustment, and Mean Logarithmic Deviation, this study illustrates how persistent income inequality is a result of class warfare – a socioeconomic competition among the social classes which plays a vital role in the pursuit of the American Dream. The study recommends that to restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, the government needs to make sure that everyone plays by the same set of rules. Tackling high inequalities will create opportunities for all, and education should become a fundamental right for all and not a privilege for the few.
The Impact of Disturbances on the US Stock Market’s Spread and Investor Sentiment Through the Perspective of Risk Management
Authors: Zwak-Cantoriu Maria-Cristina , Anghel Lucian Claudiu , Ermiş Simona
Published: March 2024

The paper aims to address a topic of interest, namely: the influence and effect of the major disruptions from recent years on one of the largest important stock markets. The purpose of the paper is to show the influence of these disruptions on the US stock market, considering market efficiency and measuring the estimated Bid-Ask spread. Using daily and weekly data sets over a period of 13 years, based on the closing stock prices of 10 companies listed in the category of the NASDAQ and NYSE stock indexes and calculating the return at (t) and (t+1) for each stock, the covariance of the two returns at (t) and (t+1) and using at t and (t+1) a "rolling window" of 21 days, which represents the trading days, as well as using the weekly data series in the same way, we obtained the relationship between the spread measurement and its size, a strong negative cross-sectional relationship, for which we performed a series of statistical tests summarized in the paper. Later, we split the data for each year separately so that we’d be able to use for each year a cross-sectional regression of the spread over the logarithmic values of the size and we noticed that there is a strong negative relationship between the two of them. According to the results obtained, it can be observed that the strongest negative correlations are in 2019 and 2021 in the case of data with daily frequency and 2020, and 2021 in the case of data with weekly frequency, for an informationally efficient market, where transaction costs are zero and in which the market price contains all the relevant information. The strongly negative correlations recorded can be explained by the fact that strong negative influences took place during these periods, which contributed to the disruption of the stock market and not only. At the same time, these negative correlations on the stock market analyzed in the last period also show a wider spread increase which theoretically shows low liquidity.
Knowledge Dynamics: Exploring its Meanings and Interpretations
Authors: Bratianu Constantin
Published: March 2024

In the literature there are many and different interpretations of the concept knowledge dynamics that creates a real difficulty in working with it. There is no comprehensive study of all these meanings and interpretations attributed to knowledge dynamics. The purpose of this paper is to explore the semantic spectrum of the concept of knowledge dynamics and to reveal the most relevant meanings and interpretations researchers in the domain of knowledge management attribute to it. The multitude of meanings and interpretations can be explained as a result of using different metaphors for expressing the concept of knowledge. Also, many researchers come from different domains of science and have different practical experiences in working with knowledge and knowledge management. The research question is how can be found a common framework to explain the most significant meanings and interpretations of the knowledge dynamics concept. Understanding this concept is necessary for all researchers, academics, and practitioners working in the domain of knowledge management and intellectual capital. The research method is based on a critical literature review, on using metaphorical thinking and on a comparative semantic analysis. It is a conceptual paper and therefore its structure will follow the logic of analysis and not that used for empirical research papers. The findings are integrated into a complex but coherent semantic framework based on both Newtonian and Thermodynamics principles.
How to Implement Knowledge Management in Emerging Governments in Africa and Beyond: A Case Study on the South African Government
Authors: Barbier Lance , Tengeh Robertson K.
Published: March 2024

This paper is based on the premise that public officials in developing countries lack the necessary skills to implement Knowledge Management (KM) successfully, so a framework is required to facilitate this process. South Africa is the case study. It is therefore necessary to develop a Knowledge Management Implementation Framework (KMIF). Consequently, one of the objectives of this paper is to validate this need and then outline a KMIF that can help government departments in developing countries implement KM and foster a KM culture. A mixed methodology approach was used, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection. Based on the Taro Yamane formula, 139 people were selected from a target population of 221 officials involved in KM in the South African government. DATAtab, a web-based statistics application, was used to analyze the responses. A comprehensive review of several secondary literature sources was carried out. For the literature review, relevant peer-reviewed articles were downloaded from Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Scopus, and Phil Papers. The study posits that officials charged with KM implementation in the South African government lack the necessary implementation skillset, that a need for a KMIF exists, and subsequently outlines a three-stage KMIF to facilitate their efforts. This study recommends that the proposed three-stage KMIF be adopted since it will provide the government (i) a simplified and structured way of realizing KM; (ii) it will be an effective tool that officials can use to guide them on how to implement KM, and (iii) it will cultivate a KM culture within the government. Even though the study is original to the South African government, the findings, however, may be applied to other emerging governments in Africa and beyond. Despite its theoretical nature, the paper lacks empirical validation, leaving it open to further investigation.

Authors: Poprach Karel , Dusík Miroslav
Published: March 2024

The laying of two clutches in a single breeding season can increase the fitness of the parent birds and stabilise a population. Our study analysed the rate of second-breeding attempts in the common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) population in the Czech Republic. In the research, a total of 8,049 common kestrel nests were checked between 1979 and 2019. Of the 1,197 breeding events recorded during the study period in Moravia, 1,184 cases were first clutches and 13 cases (1.1%) were second breeding attempts. In Bohemia, a total of 6,852 breeding events were observed during the same study period, of which 6,811 were first clutches, 32 cases were late breeding attempts and 9 cases (0.1%) were second clutches. Second breeding events occurred only rarely, mainly during population outbreaks of prey species. During the mass outbreak of the common vole (Microtus arvalis) population in the Czech Republic in 2019, 5 (5.2%) of the 97 studied common kestrel pairs nested for the second time in Moravia; in Bohemia, second clutches were recorded in 3 (8.1%) of the 37 studied pairs. The second breeding attempts were recorded at an altitude of 272 ± 123 m (mean ± SD, range 179–560 m, n = 22) and commenced between 24 June and 25 July (29 June on average, n = 5). The range of the time gap between the first and the second clutch was 54 to 92 days (70.8 ± 16.3 days, n = 5). The second clutches consisted of an average of 4.1 ± 0.9 eggs (range 3–6, n = 12), with an average of 3.7 ± 0.9 fledglings in each successful breeding pair (range 2–5, n = 11) and 2.6 ± 1.9 fledglings for each initiated breeding attempt (range 0–5, n = 16).

Denna nulägesbeskrivning av öppen vetenskap är ett resultat av ett rektorsuppdrag som gavs till Malmö universitetsbibliotek 2023. Syftet är att beskriva hur Malmö universitets forskare arbetar med öppen vetenskap och det stöd som finns för öppen vetenskap inom lärosätet idag. Utgångspunkten är Unescos rekommendation för öppen vetenskap. Den beskriver öppen vetenskap som fyra nyckelpelare: öppen vetenskaplig kunskap, öppna forskningsinfrastrukturer, öppet engagemang från samhällsaktörer och öppen dialog med andra kunskapssystem. Kartläggningen visar att lärosätet arbetar strukturerat och strategiskt inom området öppen vetenskaplig kunskap särskilt med avsikt på öppet tillgängliggörande av publikationer och kunskapshöjning kring forskningsdata. Gällande öppna forskningsinfrastrukturer och öppet engagemang från samhällsaktörer finns flera goda exempel inom lärosätet, men samordning och målsättning saknas. Den sista nyckelpelaren, öppen dialog med andra kunskapssystem, har varit svår att kartlägga och kräver mer utredning. Att arbeta för ett öppet vetenskapssystem innebär en genomgripande kulturförändring och en ny norm för hur forskning skall bedrivas. För att komma vidare behöver Malmö universitet besluta hur det fortsatta arbetet med öppen vetenskap ska organiseras.
