Authors: Monagas Docasal Marusia , Orozco Inca Edgar Enrique
Published: May 2024

La sociedad necesita un egresado con sólidas bases científicas y técnicas, pertinencia social y valores; utilizando medios tecnológicos de última generación con el fin de llegar a todos los rincones de su País. Este aspecto constituye el problema esencial, objeto de estudio de esta investigación. El artículo que se presenta se propuso como objetivo analizar la incidencia del perfil profesional en el campo ocupacional de los egresados de la Carrera de Licenciaturaen Contabilidad y Auditoría, en la Facultad de Administración de Empresas de la Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo. Se analizan en primer lugar los aspectos fundamentales de las definiciones de perfil profesional y campo de actuación, se referencian trabajos de investigación anteriores relacionados con el tema, se explica la metodología seguida y se presentan los resultados de las técnicas de investigación aplicadas a directivos, egresados y docentes de la facultad de administración de empresas. Se realizó una investigación de tipo cualitativa, no experimental, ya que se basó en la descripción y análisis del fenómeno estudiado, mediante las encuestas realizadas a 21 docentes, 3 directivos y 52 egresados de la Carrera de Contabilidad y Auditoría.
Los resultados de la investigación indicaron que el nivel de conocimientos de los egresados no responde a las exigencias de la sociedad actual; que las instrucciones que brinda la carrera es un limitante en el campo ocupacional de los egresados, y que es insuficiente la preparación para ejercer funciones de administración, así como el desarrollo de competencias para el liderazgo. Es necesario el diálogo sistemático de la administración de las instituciones educativas privadas y públicas, con el sistema empresarial con el objetivo de lograr que las competencias del capital humano egresado se correspondan con las necesidades de las administraciones para, en correspondencia, servir a la sociedad.

The widespread adoption of drones can be attributed to their low cost and convenience which led to a growth in their use for surveillance reasons leading to their extensive use in other areas too. In spite of this, the problem of maximizing their production while simultaneously minimizing their expenses is still one that they face. This paper provides a comprehensive methodology that can improve the efficiency of drone surveillance at a cheaper cost. This methodology is accomplished through the application of contemporary image processing technology. The employment of RRDB ESRGAN for the purpose of image enhancement, the utilization of face recognition for the purpose of authentication, the utilization of YOLO for the purpose of object detection, and the streamlining of data collecting and processing are all components of our plan. By enhancing image quality, implementing secure access through facial recognition, and facilitating real-time object detection, our system seeks to maximize drone surveillance, thereby improving both efficiency and accuracy. It has been demonstrated by the findings of this study that drone systems that are less expensive and have been improved by more advanced image processing algorithms have the potential to improve security and surveillance capabilities in a variety of different fields.

Authors:   Partido State University, Goa, Camarines Sur, Philippines, Romero Raymundo V.
Published: May 2024

This study used the fuzzy logic-based system to estimate the output current of a solar panel system at specified amount of power and percentage of cloud cover in the atmosphere. This established the fuzzy rule-based system which was applied from a research study to analyze the behavior of the current output wherein the available solar panels are three 100 watts and two 50 watts making it difficult to measure the current with power of 175 watts and 350 watts. The amount of the produced current was established through the fuzzy rule-based system stated as the following: if the power is low and the atmosphere is almost cloudy then the current produced is very small; if the power is high and the atmosphere is cloudy then the current produced is small; if the power is medium and the atmosphere is partially cloudy then the current produced is average; if the power is high and the atmosphere is clear then the current produced is large. Through defuzzification the fuzzy system was implemented by computing the output value using the centroid method.

Authors:   Department of Entrepreneurship, Faculty of Administration and Management, Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro., . Edith EGBERI, O
Published: May 2024

Entrepreneurship is one of the effective solutions to address a range of social and economic issues. Therefore, the Nigerian government decided to integrate entrepreneurial subjects in tertiary institutions to promote entrepreneurship and strengthen students' entrepreneurial prowess and intentions. Entrepreneurial development requires an understanding of the factors that are intrinsic to the entrepreneurial process. The current study examines the relationship between university students' entrepreneurial intention, family-support and innovativeness alertness. Survey design was used and convenience sampling was employed in obtaining a sample of seven hundred (700) respondents across selected federal universities in southeast geopolitical zone of Nigeria. The results demonstrated a favorable correlation between students’ entrepreneurial intention and innovativeness, entrepreneurial alertness, and family-support. Furthermore, among undergraduate students, family-support mitigated the association between entrepreneurial awareness and entrepreneurial ambition, but it had no effect on innovativeness. Our research indicates that when trying to encourage college students to take entrepreneurial actions through policies or educational programs, educators and policymakers should take into account the influence of exogenous factors such as family-support. They should also reconsider the current models of entrepreneurial education that are widely used in our educational system in order to integrate inclusiveness of both exogenous and endogenous factors influencing entrepreneurship.

Authors: Calista Maggie , Ahsan Abdilah , Pertiwi Yuyu
Published: May 2024

This research investigates the relationship between Direct Cash Assistance (BLT) from the Tobacco Product Excise Profit Sharing Fund (DBHCHT), BPJS Employment, employment status, and the welfare of hand-rolled cigarette workers in Central Java, Indonesia. Given the significant shifts from manual to mechanized production in the tobacco industry, the study addresses the crucial aspect of worker welfare amidst these changes. The analysis focuses on four key areas: Pati, Kudus, Demak, and Jepara, utilizing data collected from 451 hand-rolled cigarette workers through structured interviews. The methodology involves an ordered logit regression model to evaluate how financial assistance, health and accident insurance coverage through BPJS Employment, and permanent versus contractual employment statuses impact the welfare of these workers, with welfare quantified in terms of income and asset ownership. The results indicate a positive correlation between the provision of BLT DBHCHT and improved welfare indices, highlighting the effectiveness of direct financial aid in enhancing living standards. Additionally, enrollment in BPJS Employment is significantly associated with better welfare outcomes, underscoring the importance of robust social security systems for protecting worker welfare. The study also finds that permanent employment contributes to higher welfare levels compared to contractual work, suggesting that job security plays a crucial role in promoting worker well-being. These findings underscore the necessity for targeted policy interventions aimed at improving socio-economic conditions for laborers within Indonesia's tobacco sector. They also advocate for an expanded scope of welfare indicators in future studies to include more comprehensive assessments of worker well-being, incorporating health, educational attainments, and psychosocial factors.
Normative Juridical Study of Regulatory Urgency Use of Local Labor in the Regions
Authors: Simarmata Jorawati
Published: May 2024

Indonesia, in the context of "advancing general welfare" as mandated by the preamble to the 1945 Constitution, is responsible for responding to employment problems through national development. The government directs various regulations in the field of employment to regulate "Indonesian workers" and/or the use of "foreign workers" in the context of equal and fair employment opportunities. However, the phenomenon is that local governments see a legal vacuum (recht vacuum) to regulate local/regional workers or in other words, "local workers". Consequence, many regions in Indonesia have issued regulations that involve "the use of local labor" in the form of regional regulations or regent/mayor regulations. In this normative juridical study the problem is formulated: (i) How is the use of local labor regulated in the regions based on statutory regulations? (ii) What is the urgency of regulating the use of local labor in the regions? In principle, this article aims to answer these two things. First, to find out and analyze legal regulations related to the use of local workers in the regions. Second, to formulate the urgency of regulating the use of local labor in the regions. In this study, it was found that the regulation of the use of local workers in the regions is not an order from existing laws and regulations in Indonesia and is not an authority that implicitly regulates local workers, but rather a regional government policy to accommodate regional conditions related to the problem of employment opportunities for workers-local work. The obligation to provide opportunities for local workers and residents around the company does not mean it is discriminatory because it is still open while prioritizing the principle of professionalism according to the prospective workers' standards of ability and skills.

Digital technology changes the way of work. It can improve connections between an organization's technical and social systems as well as connections with external networks through the sharing and exchange of digital information. The average worker in ASEAN wants a salary increase and wants a promotion, and some others want to change jobs. Respondents who want to change jobs come from Indonesia. Most respondents in ASEAN want job satisfaction, and many believe that job skills will change in the next five years. Apart from that, most respondents in ASEAN also believe that their organizations will be able to stay in business for more than 10 years. Respondents from Indonesia rated the highest on variables related to workplace culture, empowerment, fairness and feedback. Meanwhile, respondents from the Philippines gave the lowest assessment to variables related to new job opportunities, opportunities to learn new skills and increased productivity with the presence of artificial intelligence. Employee welfare needs to be a priority for companies, so companies need to collect data about employee desires and motivations, segment employees and prioritize action plans for management in the company.

In 2023, amidst the complexities of a volatile global economy, Indonesia demonstrated economic resilience, propelled by its dynamic workforce. This abstract synthesizes the intricate interplay between macroeconomic forces and employment trends within Indonesia, drawing from comprehensive data analyses and policy evaluations. The report encapsulates a year marked by economic recovery despite global headwinds such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, inflation surges, and supply chain interruptions. With a predicted global growth of 3.6% by the IMF, Indonesia's economy experienced fluctuations but maintained a growth trajectory from Q2 2022 to Q2 2023. Labor force data indicates a predominance of the working-age population, signaling potential for sustained productivity and economic fortitude. The demographic composition, skewed towards a younger populace, underpins the vibrant labor market. Employment policies have been responsive to digitalization, globalization, and demographic transitions, focusing on skill development, vocational training, and job safety. Notably, vocational training for SMK graduates was prioritized to match industry requirements. Regulatory advancements aim to balance worker protections with corporate operational efficiency. Amidst COVID-19's lingering impact, policy adaptations were crucial to support workers and businesses, exemplifying Indonesia’s agility in times of crisis. The landscape of employment disputes, predominantly centered around termination, underscores the necessity for robust conflict resolution mechanisms. With 71.15% of industrial disputes tied to terminations, mediation emerged as the preferred dispute resolution strategy. Regional data unveiled disparities in job placements and complaints, spotlighting the need for equitable workforce distribution and grievance redressal mechanisms. The report concludes that Indonesia's labor policies and employment conditions are dynamically evolving, poised to sculpt a robust, inclusive, and sustainable labor market landscape.

It traces the history of the two nations to understand their rivalry by analysing the existing literature. The development was quite unanticipated as the two nations have been bitter rivals for decades and the deal too was mediated by China, a new entrant in the region. The two rivals have fought economically, militarily, and ideologically, making the resource-rich region prone to continued violence. These occurrences have received scholarly attention as they have repercussions for the entire world since the deal has the potential to drive the region of West Asia toward stability. The study collects numerical and non-numerical data, analysing and applying economic concepts and political phenomena to understand the changing dynamics of the region. The major findings reflect that the region of West Asia is witnessing a new sense of reawakening and the states are putting aside their old differences. The Iranian state is intact and is not weakening due to protests and Western sanctions as Iran has been facing and dealing with them for long. The statement of the deal itself indicates that it has been agreed upon by two sovereign states with the goodwill of China.

Results: Our data showed that the STAI score for state anxiety to mothers was significantly higher in the 1st assessment (Mean±SD:52.2±11.9) than 2nd (Mean±SD:47.8±12) and 3rd (Mean±SD:49±10.3). The STAI score for trait anxiety was similar, in particular it was significantly higher in the 1st assessment (Mean±SD:46.6±14.6) compared to 2nd (Mean±SD:41.9±14) and 3rd (Mean±SD:42.8±13). Also, the STAI score for state anxiety to fathers was significantly higher during the 1st assessment (Mean±SD:47.1±12.2) compared to the other two assessments (Mean±SD:42.8±9.8 & Mean±SD:41.7±9.1 respectively), while trait anxiety didn’t show significant variability. Conclusion: Our findings suggested that the premature birth and infant’s hospitalization might have a negative effect on parents’ emotional state. Identifying which mothers and fathers are at risk immediately after birth and during NICU stay could help to direct specific interventions that can prevent them of stressful feelings.

A pandemia de COVID-19 exigiu dos profissionais de saúde um esforço coletivo na busca por estratégias de prevenção e tratamento a uma doença nova, em condições extremamente precarizadas de trabalho. Nessa perspectiva, os fisioterapeutas exerceram um importante papel no tratamento de pessoas com COVID-19, trabalhando em diversas frentes de atuação, sendo essenciais no cuidado dispensado no ambiente hospitalar. Diante disso, o presente estudo tem como objetivo caracterizar as atividades desenvolvidas por fisioterapeutas que atenderam pacientes com COVID-19 em ambiente hospitalar, bem como suas percepções acerca do seu trabalho durante a pandemia. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado com fisioterapeutas que estivessem atuando no atendimento a casos confirmados de COVID-19 no ambiente hospitalar, em qualquer parte do Brasil. Participaram 112 fisioterapeutas, de ambos os gêneros, que responderam a um questionário digital, autoaplicável, construído eletronicamente para esta finalidade por meio do Google Forms. Além das ações relacionadas ao manejo do suporte ventilatório invasivo e não invasivo, foi marcante a atuação desses profissionais no desenvolvimento de ações que objetivavam não só a recuperação da função pulmonar mas, também, a mobilização precoce e a implementação de exercícios terapêuticos planejados de forma individualizada e específicos a cada caso.
Party Realignment: Ethnic Identity versus Egocentrism among Malaysian Voters

This study investigates the dynamics of voting intention concerning party realignment among voters in Malaysia using a Theory of Reasoned Action-based model. It delves into the roles of attitudes and subjective norms in shaping party preferences and aligns with quantitative methodology. A comprehensive self-administered survey questionnaire engaged 450 participants from diverse ethnic backgrounds in the Batang Kali State Constituency to elucidate party realignment complexities. They are chosen using stratified random sampling, based on a race proportion of 5:1:1. The findings reveal that voter attitudes wielded a more significant impact than subjective norms associated with ethnic identity. This outcome underscores the pivotal role of attitudes in influencing decision-making, while the influence of subjective norms remains limited. The research highlights the subjective norm's role in a multicultural context, clarifying that it is not the primary catalyst for party realignment. Instead, personal beliefs (people's egocentric behaviour) play a substantial role in shaping voter attitudes. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the interplay between subjective norms (ethnic identity), attitudes (egocentrism), and party realignment within Malaysia's diverse social landscape. Moreover, they hold significant implications for formulating effective political strategies and government policies within a multicultural society.

Este estudo busca contribuir com a área de gestão analisando as relações de interação e cooperação entre os atores do APL de semijoias de Limeira/SP. O estudo se caracteriza como exploratório e descritivo utilizando as técnicas de entrevista semiestruturada junto ao órgão coordenador do APL e questionário para os diferentes atores, nas várias etapas do processo. Os resultados indicam que a cooperação e a interação entre os atores são de baixa intensidade, que por sua vez atuam em pequenos grupos de afinidades e não de forma ampla e sistêmica. Dentre os fatores que evidenciam esta atuação fragmentada, entre os atores, identifica-se a existência de forte concorrência e elevado nível de desconfiança entre as partes. No entanto, apesar desses fatores negativos, os atores reconhecem que a concentração, em uma localidade, de empresas que contemplam as etapas do processo de fabricação, possibilita ganhos operacionais e comerciais.

Este artigo teve como objetivo apresentar um modelo para diagnosticar a ocorrência do assédio moral no trabalho e suas consequências para a saúde do trabalhador, em uma cooperativa de crédito no Brasil, denunciada ao Ministério Público do Trabalho por prática de assédio moral. Foi realizado um estudo exploratório, quantitativo e descritivo, sendo aplicado aos 166 empregados da cooperativa os questionários NAQ-R (Negative Acts Questionnaire) e SRQ20 adaptado (Self Report Questionaire-20). Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística univariada e bivariada. Os resultados indicaram média de 1,37 atos negativos por respondente, destacando-se a ocorrência de dois a quatro casos graves de assédio. Foi confirmada a relação entre assédio moral e sintomas físicos e psíquicos. Portanto, recomenda-se um modelo para realizar o diagnóstico do assédio moral em uma única organização, no qual sejam utilizados os dois questionários, aliados a dados e informações sobre organização e seu ambiente de trabalho.
