Published: December 2024

Studies on the role of gender, family businesses, and non-family businesses in examining financial management practices, particularly in developing countries, have been largely overlooked. This research, based on the collaboration between Positive Accounting Theory (PAT) and Agency Theory, aims to explore the intervention of microfinance in micro and small agricultural enterprises (MSEs). Using a quantitative approach, the study employs the Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method with a sample size of 656 respondents, comprising ultra-micro and small business actors in the agricultural sector in Indonesia. The findings indicate that for micro-sized businesses, entrepreneurial success mediates the relationship between microfinance and subjective wellbeing, while in small-sized businesses, poverty reduction and entrepreneurial success fully mediate the relationship between ultra-microfinance and subjective wellbeing. Ultra-microfinance assists business owners in enhancing their financial resource capacity more easily. On the other hand, microfinance not only provides financial access but also offers training and mentorship programs, helping business owners achieve long-term success. The study also reveals that gender does not mediate the relationship between microfinance and subjective wellbeing. Gender inequality in accessing resources, differences in decision-making participation, and social norms that still limit women's roles in economic activities within the agricultural sector are contributing factors. The implication of this study is to provide insights for decision-makers in the agricultural MSME sector to enhance subjective wellbeing. It is hoped that poverty alleviation programs through microfinance initiatives, such as PNPM, can be optimally absorbed and have a positive impact on empowering business owners to reduce structural poverty, especially in the key sector of agricultural businesses.

Authors: Meidijati Meidijati , Murwaningsari Etty , Mayangsari Sekar
Published: December 2024

This research investigates the impact of stimulus, capability, collusion, opportunity, rationalization, ego, lack of empathy, and spirituality on financial reporting fraud. This chapter also explores how social media can moderate these impacts as a channel for whistleblowing information. Based on balanced panel data with a sample of 441 research data, the research focuses on commercial banks registered with the Financial Services Authority, Indonesia, from 2016 to 2022. The research results reveal that opportunity has a negative influence on fraudulent financial reporting; lack of empathy also has a negative influence on fraudulent financial reporting; lack of spirituality has a positive influence on fraudulent financial reporting; social media as an information channel for the whistleblowing system weakens the influence of lack of spirituality on fraudulent financial reporting, and social media strengthens the influence of opportunity and lack of empathy on fraudulent financial reporting. This research not only aims to bridge the research gap regarding financial reporting that contains fraud (fraud theory) but also provides practical insights and recommendations for regulators, especially in monitoring financial reporting that contains fraud in the banking sector. Hence, these findings are very relevant and can be applied.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the effect of social communication on sustainable territorial performance at the Iskandar Muda Military Command in Aceh. The research sample consisted of 326 Village Supervisors (Babinsa) who were recruited through an invitation to complete a questionnaire distributed via official TNI communication channels with a survey link on Google Forms. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire designed to gather demographic information of respondents and research variables, including social communication, sustainable territorial performance, territorial responsiveness, and territorial loyalty. The questionnaire consisted of two parts, utilizing a 5-point Likert scale to measure respondents' levels of agreement with the statements. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with a Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach. The results indicated that territorial responsiveness and territorial loyalty do not mediate the relationship between social communication and sustainable territorial performance. However, both variables have a direct positive and significant impact on sustainable territorial performance. Additionally, social communication was found to have no direct effect on sustainable territorial performance, territorial responsiveness, or territorial loyalty. These findings provide important insights into the relationship between social communication and territorial performance, as well as implications for management practices in military settings.

Structural Reform in America: understanding it through discrimination cases
Authors: Pereira Ricardo José Macêdo de Britto , Domingues Hermano Martins
Published: December 2024

This paper delves into the conceptual aspects of structural reform in the United States and its application in discrimination cases. Such reform requires a prolonged and adaptable process to align with legal standards and dismantle inadequate structures fostering unlawful practices. Notably, structural reform involves multiple actors, diverging from the exclusive role of the Judiciary in problem resolution. The paper explores the roots of structural reform in the United States through literature review and case analysis, such as Brown I and Brown II, to understand how legal issues were adjudicated and whether the Supreme Court's rulings triggered broader societal changes. The discussion extends to cases of structural reform in employment discrimination, indicating successful instances but also setbacks, exemplified by a Supreme Court case on gender discrimination at Walmart.

Proporcionalidade e Justificação
Authors: Klatt Matthias , Baumgarten Flávio , Trivisonno Alexandre Travessoni Gomes
Published: December 2024

Em contraste com os relatos descritivos e analíticos, eu defendo neste artigo o uso do teste de proporcionalidade no raciocínio de direitos como normativamente justificado, seguindo na linha do direito moral à justificação de Rainer Forst. Estabeleço aqui uma nova teoria da dimensão diacrônica da análise da proporcionalidade, que está incorporada no que eu chamo de modelo de proporcionalidade como integridade. Meu argumento explica em detalhes o que significa um direito à justificação e explora como ele se relaciona com o teste de proporcionalidade. Isso inclui uma análise de como a pretensão de correção do direito está relacionada às noções de justificação e argumentação. Demonstro como a justificação, enquanto análise de proporcionalidade, integra a forma e a substância da argumentação sobre direitos, portanto institucionalizando um espaço de razões. Também defendo a validade global do direito à justificação contra alegações de relatividade cultural e enfatizo a natureza discursiva do controle de constitucionalidade. Isso me leva a apoiar um meio-termo entre o liberalismo e o comunitarianismo. Logo, não está aberto ao livre arbítrio o emprego ou não da análise de proporcionalidade. Pelo contrário, devemos usá-la porque existe um direito à proporcionalidade. Isso, por sua vez, estabelece o direito à justificação como um fundamento robusto para o constitucionalismo discursivo global.
Turnaround Maintenance Risk Management Strategy: A Literature Review
Authors: Dhanaraj Duraisamy , Saravanan S.
Published: December 2024

Turnaround maintenance (TAM) is a planned shutdown of a plant or a unit for a significant period to perform maintenance, inspection, testing, and repair activities that cannot be done during normal operation. TAM is a complex, costly, and risky project that requires careful planning, coordination, and execution. TAM risk management strategy (TAMRMS) is a systematic approach to identify, analyze, evaluate, and treat the potential risks that may affect the TAM objectives, such as safety, quality, schedule, and budget. This paper reviews the existing literature on TAMRMS and identifies the main challenges, methods, tools, and best practices. The paper also proposes a conceptual framework for TAMRMS that integrates the key elements of risk management process, stakeholder management, and knowledge management. The paper concludes with some suggestions for future research directions and implications for practitioners.

Published: December 2024

Russia’s urgent military aggression against Ukraine is complicated by its non-compliance with international law on the customs of warfare. The current situation demonstrates the imperfection of the system of modern international relations and the need to update agreements regarding the requirements for the conduct of hostilities. Ignoring the latter leads to many victims of various types of offences. At the same time, there are no effective mechanisms to mitigate the risks of these problems. The study aims to analyse the current innovative legal framework of police service and combat activities in the occupied territories. The study’s main materials are the sectoral theoretical and methodological developments of domestic and foreign researchers, as well as official statistics. A number of scientific methods were used in the article’s research, including analysis and synthesis, structural and logical methods, theoretical generalisation, and comparison. The research substantiates that under conditions of occupation, the military administration must not only ensure the protection of the rights and freedoms of the local population but also actively safeguard those rights and freedoms. It has been established that, to date, the legal status of police officers who find themselves in temporarily uncontrolled Ukrainian territory has not been defined by national legislation. It is argued that it is impossible to regard all such officers as collaborators or traitors without exception; decisions must be made objectively on a case-by-case basis. At the same time, it has been proven that without adopting and regulating societal relations for the protection of citizens’ rights and freedoms at the international level, this issue cannot be resolved. The legal status of police officers in the context of their presence in temporarily occupied territory has been defined. Distinctions between related concepts have been clarified, potential action algorithms for police officers have been outlined, and the necessity of continuing to fulfil their duties in the protection of the civilian population has been emphasised. A significant aspect highlighted within the study is the regulation of the relations under investigation and adherence to those regulations by the parties involved in the conflict. In further scientific developments of the research issue, the development of innovative legal principles of service and combat activities of the police in the occupied territories in the context of active digital transformation is considered promising.

Authors: Athmani Khaled , Hasseine Abdelmalek , Laiadi Djemoui , Laiadi Chaker
Published: December 2024

The population balance equation (PBE) is a fundamental tool in chemical engineering for modeling particulate processes where particle size distribution significantly impacts product quality and process performance. It finds extensive applications in crystallization, polymerization, granulation, L-L extraction and aerosol dynamics. In this study, we present an analytical technique for solving the one-dimensional population balance equation (PBE). This technique combines Laplace transformation with the Adomian Decomposition Method (LADM), where the Laplace transformation is applied with respect to time, and the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) is used to address the resulting equation along the spatial coordinate. We examine specific cases involving pure convection, pure growth, pure breakage, and the combined processes of growth and breakage. This methodology provides analytical solutions involving the transport and particle-particle interaction phenomena of the dispersed phase.

In this study, the highest volume fraction was obtained by the combined effect of KMnO4 doping and different sintering temperatures (840 and 850 °C). Bi2Sr2CaCu2(KMnO4)xO8+δ compounds with x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.07 were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The phase composition and microstructure were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and Raman Spectroscopy. The XRD phase study showed that the optimum sintering temperature was 850 °C with a KMnO4 doping concentration of 0.05. With increased doping (x), the texture of Bi2212 became more crystalline, with a grain growth preference along the (00l) direction. It is clear that the rate of formation of the Bi2212 phase is favored by high sintering temperature and addition of KMnO4. The line intensities of the Bi-2212 phase were found to increase significantly with KMnO4 addition up to the critical value of x = 0.01 and the cell structure volume is seen to decrease with increasing doping rate. This may be attributed to inhomogeneities in oxygen concentration This indicates that the sintering temperature has a strong influence on the structural and morphological properties. As reported in the literature, the Raman modes at 489.76 cm-1 and 630 cm-1 are associated with the vibrations of O(3)BiA1g and O(2)SrA1g along the c axis for the Bi-2212 phase. The A1g modes are symmetric for vibrations of Bi, Sr, Ca, Cu, OBi, OSr and OCu along the c axis.

Authors:   Senior Lecturer, School of General Education, BRAC University, Dhaka, Bangladesh., Molla Istiaque Hossain
Published: December 2024

It has been almost 50 years since Bangladesh achieved its independence from Pakistani domination. The contribution and charismatic leadership of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who declared the independence of Bangladesh is beyond explanation. Bangabandhu delivered several historical speeches in his moral life. But one of the greatest and strongest speeches he delivered at the 29th United Nations (UN) General Assembly was a guideline for Bangladesh and the whole world, which completed him as a ‘global leader’. Bangabandhu emphasized ‘Peace and Justice’ as he believed that only this can bring back discipline. The democratically elected Bangladesh Awami League (AL) government and the Prime Minister, H.E. Sheikh Hasina who is already recognized as a global leader are trying to implement all the directions that Bangabandhu mentioned in his speech regarding economic emancipation, peace and justice, social development, peaceful use of technology, good relationship with neighbors, upholding brotherhood and solidarity. These will help to build a peaceful world and Bangabandhu’s ‘Shonar Bangla’ or ‘Golden Bengal’. As a historical event, this paper is based on qualitative approaches including content analysis, literature review, and interviews with academic scholars. The expected findings of the paper are to present the leadership quality of Bangabandhu and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina through their speech at the UN, how they became global leaders, and the fair implications of Bangabandhu’s policies by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Role of Modern Education and Socio-Cultural Movements in India’s Independence
Authors:   Department of Independent Researcher, 25- Ramkrishna Path, North S. K. Puri, Patna (Bihar), India., Singh Dr. Manish
Published: December 2024

At the outset it may be stated explicitly that this paper has tried to argue that the spread of modern education and consequent socio-culturalreforms, among other factors, indirectly played a key role in the struggle for India's independence. The role of other such factors, however, are not underplayed in the freedom movement. The British were highly zealous of spreading their education and culture outside. Statesmen like Lord Macaulay and Sir Cecil Rhodes were of the view that the English culture was the best and the most liberal in the world and if India, South Africa and later on, the entire world were “Anglicized” culturally through British pattern of education, it would pave the way for the social and political unification of the world. The idea of “Anglicizing” the world and thereby building up the empire and forging political and social unity of peoples at the global level under the leadership of the British, is apparent in the will of Sir Cecil Rhodes. He had desired “the extension of British rule throughout the world, the occupation by British settlers of the entire Continent of Africa, the Valley of the Euphrates … the whole of South Africa … the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire, the inauguration of a system of Colonial representation in the Imperial Parliament, which may tend to weld together the disjointed members of the Empire, and finally, the foundation of so great a Power as to hereafter render wars impossible and promote the best interests of humanity [1].” Thus the belief in Britain’s role as the Messiah to civilize and unify the world by disseminating the British culture was one of the important reasons for the introduction of modern education in India.
Legal Study on Marriage Rights of Homosexuals in China
Authors: Xie Ninghan
Published: December 2024

The issue of equality related to homosexuality has always been a hot spot in anti-discrimination. Through years of legal and cultural changes, the equal rights of homosexuals in China have been guaranteed to some extent. However, gay people in China have not been fully treated fairly, especially when it comes to marriage rights. Article 2 of the Marriage Act only regulates heterosexual marriage and does not cover same-sex marriage. This paper explores the legal status and challenges surrounding the marriage rights of homosexuals in China. By examining current legislation, judicial cases, and societal perspectives, the study identifies the legal barriers faced by the LGBTQ+ community in achieving marriage equality. Given that Chinese law currently does not recognize same-sex marriages, this research seeks to highlight the need for legal reforms to ensure equal treatment of homosexuals in marriage laws. The paper also proposes legal amendments, improved law enforcement, and societal education to foster greater inclusivity and fairness in China.
Research on MNE Liability for Environmental Damage Caused by Subsidiaries
Authors: Yin Yue
Published: December 2024

Lawsuits against multinational enterprises (MNEs) due to environmental torts committed by their subsidiaries are increasing. Case law indicates that the direct reason for holding parent companies liable for the environmental torts of their subsidiaries is the duty of care that parent companies owe to their subsidiaries. The paper aims to analyse the logic behind MNEs being held liable for the environmental torts of their subsidiaries. The paper will analyse the reasons for imposing a duty of care on MNEs, the standards for holding MNEs liable through the duty of care, and the allocation of the burden of proof in environmental tort litigation. The paper employs a combined analysis of statutory law and case law. The conclusion drawn is that it is lawful and reasonable for MNEs to be liable for the environmental torts of their subsidiaries, but the boundaries of such liability need to be clearly defined, and the allocation of the burden of proof should be inclined towards the injured parties.

Authors: Yu Fangzhou
Published: December 2024

Mazu, also known as Tianhou/Tianfei is the most prosperous belief in Chinese Mainland and in the shipping developed areas like Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese immigrants communities. It forms a unique belief system with goddess worship as its core, and form a religious culture integrating marine culture. This article focuses on the main carrier of Mazu belief, Mazu Temples, and attempts to sort out its architectural evolution strategies in the development of history. This article briefly analyzes the similarities and differences in the forms of Mazu temples in their birthplace and overseas regions. And a systematic summary is proposed, that is, Mazu Temple is not only a religious building and a sacred space experience. But more importantly, it act as a cultural and spiritual symbol, playing a different role in the dissemination of Mazu culture at home and abroad for communication purposes.In previous studies on Mazu culture and beliefs, the vast majority of researchers only focused on the changes in Mazu beliefs themselves, including the evolution of artistic sculptures, paintings, ritual offerings, and their political significance. But few people pay attention to Mazu Temple, or in other words, Mazu Temple, as an important material carrier of Mazu belief, has always been regarded by believers as a simple religious place and used by scholars as a way to study the development of Mazu belief, while its importance in architecture has been ignored.
Is There an Optimal Way to Pass on Historical and Cultural Landscapes?
Authors: Zha Fangyuan
Published: December 2024

As times evolve, historical and cultural landscapes continue to emerge, yet the question of how to perceive and adopt appropriate measures for their preservation and transmission remains a perplexing one. This study synthesizes and analyzes various scholars perspectives on the choice between preserving original forms and embracing modernization, while debating these issues in the context of rural landscape preservation cases in China. The papers significant contribution lies in its emphasis on the uncertainties of memory and history, along with the inherent imperfection of landscape preservation. The challenge of preservation is not merely to determine what to protect or discard, but to maintain an openness to the past, ensuring that the present remains ephemeral rather than fixed. Furthermore, it calls for a deeper understanding of landscapes in cultural heritage work to ensure that their multidimensional values and cultural significance are thoroughly respected and preserved.

Published: December 2024

Location science has a rich historical background, with the sub-category of locating emergency facilities being especially crucial to ensure the safety of people. With fire emergencies happening frequently in households, identifying the optimal placement of fire stations is a critical decision. Other research papers have used the GIS system or models that are complicated or not as practical. Response time, efficiency, and total cost are the various variables considered and analyzed in the model. Fire stations must be located carefully to ensure they are positioned effectively. Hence, research, data collection, and data analysis are especially important. Data are converted into a weighting system created to compare the importance of different areas to decide whether a fire station should be placed next to them. This project introduces an optimization model for determining the optimal location of fire stations in the Manhattan district using a Python program.

Intelligent Assisted Eating System for Parkinson's Patients Based on Multimodal Deep Learning in Complex Backgrounds
Authors: Xu Liyuan
Published: December 2024

This study presents an innovative intelligent assisted feeding system aimed at improving the autonomous eating ability and quality of life of patients with Parkinson's disease. The system integrates three core technology modules: (1) a speech recognition module based on Paraformer for accurately understanding the patient's dietary needs; (2) a real-time oral detection module using YOLOv5s for precisely locating the patient's mouth and assessing its open or closed state; (3) a head pose estimation module based on FSA-Net to synchronize the robotic arm with the patient's head movement in real time. Through multimodal fusion, the system achieves full-process automation from speech command recognition to precise food delivery. Experimental results show that the system effectively identifies the patient's intent, accurately locates the mouth, and adjusts the food delivery angle in real time according to the head's posture, significantly enhancing the safety and comfort of the eating process. This research not only provides a practical feeding assistance solution for patients with Parkinson's disease but also opens new avenues for applying intelligent assistance technologies in the rehabilitation of neurodegenerative diseases.
The impact of global warming on the ecological environment of the Tibetan Plateau
Authors: Yu Qihang
Published: December 2024

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is an important climate change indicator in China, and with the rapid development of China's industrialization and population increase in recent decades, the greenhouse gas emitted by humans has greatly strengthened the greenhouse effect, resulting in an increase in temperature, and the overall heat income is greater than the expenditure, resulting in changes in the climate and environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Based on the CMIP5 multi-model simulation prediction results, the response of plateau vegetation to 2 C temperature rise was studied, and the sensitivity of plateau vegetation to climate factor changes was discussed Leaf Area Index (LAI) increased significantly compared with the historical period, and the plateau turned greener, among which the LAI and vegetation carbon storage in the central part of the plateau increased most significantly, and the Sanjiangyuan area was the area with the fastest vegetation increase. After warming, the area of bare land decreased rapidly, the vegetation coverage rate increased overall, the grassland showed an increasing trend in most areas, and the decreasing trend of forest slowed down. However, if the temperature increases too much, it will lead to the shrinking of the living space of some cherished alpine organisms, the melting of large areas of glaciers, and the increase of the height of the snow line, which will have a great impact on the stability of the ecological environment and the conservation of species diversity in China.
Brain machine interface for Parkison's disease
Authors: Pan Zian
Published: December 2024

Parkinson's disease, a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder second only to Alzheimer's disease, is characterized by motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and impaired balance due to the progressive loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra. Traditional treatment methods, including oral and intravenous dopamine, are ineffective due to the blood-brain barrier, while long-term use of levodopa presents significant drawbacks. Advances in microelectronics have introduced neural probes as promising tools for both the study and treatment of Parkinson's disease. This review examines the capabilities of neural probes to monitor neural activity, detect real-time dopamine concentrations, and facilitate localized intracerebral dopamine delivery. We discuss the design challenges and solutions for creating minimally invasive, long-term stable neural probes, emphasizing the importance of flexible substrates, biocompatible coatings, and integrated microfluidic channels. The proposed multimodal neural probe aims to improve our understanding of the relationship between dopamine and Parkinson's disease, offering new avenues for diagnosis and treatment. This work underscores the potential of neural probes to revolutionize Parkinson's disease research and therapy, contributing to the broader field of neuroengineering and neurotherapeutics.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Bulimia Nervosa: A Review
Authors: Lan Yufei
Published: December 2024

Bulimia nervosa is a complex eating disorder that severely affects patients mental health and quality of life. And the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as a cutting-edge intervention, has profoundly revealed the cognitive mechanisms behind bulimic behaviors, paving new pathways for treatment. The paper delves into the strategies of CBT in bulimia intervention, emphasizing the core elements of emotional regulation, cognitive restructuring and behavioral experimentation. At the same time, the challenges that may arise during the implementation of CBT should not be overlooked, such as patient compliance and therapist skill requirements, which directly affect the treatment outcome. In addition, various coping strategies, including personalized treatment plans, enhanced patient participation, as well as continuous professional training, are analyzed to improve the applicability and effectiveness of CBT in the treatment of bulimia nervosa. Through the summarized analysis of existing studies, this paper aims to provide a scientific basis for clinical practice, so as to boost the application and development of CBT in the field of bulimia nervosa treatment, and to bring the hope of more effective recovery to patients.
