PATCHWORK AND ITS IMPACT ON ENTREPRENEURIAL PERFORMANCE: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF ENTREPRENEURIAL PASSION AND BUSINESS MODEL INNOVATION
Authors: Kun Liang , Guo Hui , Na Suprawin
Published: September 2024

This study aims to delve into the impact of entrepreneurial patchwork on entrepreneurial performance and explain it through the moderating and mediating mechanisms of entrepreneurial passion and business model innovation. We thoroughly investigated the relationship between entrepreneurs' personal background, level of entrepreneurial patchwork, degree of entrepreneurial passion, business model innovation, and entrepreneurial performance using a 5-point Likert scale. The survey included entrepreneurs of different ages, genders, educational backgrounds, and entrepreneurial experiences. In the personal background information section, we collected information on participants' age, gender, educational background, and entrepreneurial experience. The survey on the level of entrepreneurial patchwork included ratings of innovativeness, adaptability, leadership, and risk tolerance. We also looked in depth at the entrepreneurs' motivations for starting a business, including factors such as financial independence, realizing a personal dream, and providing an innovative product or service. In the entrepreneurial experience section, we examined the entrepreneur's industry, the source of motivation for starting the business, and the challenges and achievements faced during the entrepreneurial process. Through these questions, we tracked the experiences of entrepreneurs in practice, providing a rich case background for subsequent analysis.
For the scale design of the entrepreneurial patchwork, we used the criteria of a 5-point Likert scale to meticulously measure innovativeness, adaptability, leadership, and risk tolerance. In addition, by carefully investigating the relationship between entrepreneurial passion level, business model innovation, and entrepreneurial performance, we hope to gain a deep understanding of the interaction between these factors. Finally, the results of this study are expected to provide new theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence for research in the field of entrepreneurship. A deeper understanding of the impact of entrepreneurial patchwork on entrepreneurial performance and the mechanisms by which entrepreneurial passion and business model innovation play a role is of practical significance for entrepreneurs, academics, and policymakers.

A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION ON THE DIGITAL RESILIENCE OF CHINESE RETAIL ENTERPRISES
Authors: Zhang Xiangyi
Published: September 2024

The retail industry is at the forefront and epitome of China's rapid digitalization process. However, the digital transformation process of retail enterprises has not been smooth sailing, and some even lamented that "transformation is death, and non-transformation is waiting for death." In the era of the digital economy, how to improve the digital resilience of enterprises has become an important topic in enterprise management practice and theoretical research. This paper uses A-share listed retail companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges in China from 2012 to 2021 as samples and uses Stata17 software to conduct an empirical test on the relationship between "digital transformation of retail enterprises" and digital resilience. The empirical results show that the digital transformation of Chinese retail enterprises has a significant positive effect on digital resilience. This significant promotion effect still holds after a series of endogeneity and robustness tests. This study helps to enrich the connotation of digital resilience, enrich the existing measurement of digital resilience, and expand the research on the effects and results of digital transformation in Chinese retail enterprises.
THE IMPACT OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION ON ENTERPRISE SUPPLY CHAIN PERFORMANCE: MODERATING EFFECT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSIMILATION CAPABILITY
Authors: Dong Xiaoyan , Liu Sen
Published: September 2024

Blockchain technology (BCT) is now regarded as the next-generation information technology tool for sustainable growth in supply chain (SC) management. This study empirically examines the impact of blockchain technology applications on the supply chain performance of 258 manufacturing enterprises in China. The findings reveal that blockchain technology applications significantly enhance enterprise supply chain performance. The assimilation capacity of information technology (ITAC) exerts a positive moderating effect on the relationship between blockchain applications and enterprise supply chain performance. A high assimilation capacity of information technology amplifies the positive effect of blockchain technology on enterprise supply chain performance; conversely, a low assimilation capacity of information technology diminishes this positive effect. The findings have implications for blockchain adoption in supply chain literature.

Published: September 2024

Розглянуто один із варіантів розв’язку задачі кластеризації на основі алгоритму k-середніх, який широко застосовується в багатьох сферах науки і техніки. Головними недоліками алгоритму k-середніх є залежність результатів кластеризації від вибору початкової конфігурації центроїдів (ініціалізації) та збіжність до локального мінімуму цільової функції. Запропонований в роботі вдосконалений метод k-середніх дозволяє отримати розв’язок, наближений до глобального мінімуму спотворення шляхом послідовного запуску k-середніх для 1,2,...,k центроїдів. Значне прискорення роботи досягається за рахунок обчислення відстаней лише до активних центроїдів, а також зменшення кількості векторів-кандидатів на вибір місця початкового розташування нового центроїду. Перевага даного підходу суттєво зростає за великих обсягів даних і зі збільшенням розмірності. Запропонований алгоритм доцільно використовувати в задачах кластеризації мовленнєвих даних при створенні кодових книг.

Authors: Efiong Joel , Efiong Eme , Akintoye Oluyemi , Inah Ebin , Awan Obianuju , Ogban Francis
Published: September 2024

Flooding remains a major environmental problem in many parts of the world including Nigeria, causing untold losses. This study modelled the flood susceptibility of Calabar Metropolis using frequency ratio and geographical information system (GIS). Direct field observation and key informant approaches were used to obtain 127 previous and current flood locations in the study area from which a database of historical flood occurrence was developed. Using the geostatistical analyst tool within a geographical information environment the flood locations were split into two parts in the ratio of 70:30 percent for the training and testing processes, respectively. Eight flood conditioning factors (elevation, slope, aspect, curvature topographic position index, topographic wetness index, land cover and normalized difference vegetation index) were extracted from SRTM-30m DEM and Landsat 8 data accordingly and used in the geospatial analysis of flood occurrence within the GIS. The frequency ratio model was then developed using the training dataset. The final product was the flood susceptibility map of the study area. The results revealed that 9.3 percent of the study area was considered to have very high flood susceptibility, 19.97 percent was classified as high flood susceptibility while 31.79 percent was under moderate risk area. About 39 percent of the study area was classified at least under low flood susceptibility. The order of contribution of the conditioning factors to the model were topographic position index (TPI), elevation, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), land cover, curvature, aspect, slope, and topographic wetness index (TWI). The validation of the model using the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve returned an AUC value of 74.81 percent. Hence, the result was acceptable for the prediction of flood locations in the study area. The findings would assist urban planners, environmental managers, risk reduction and management agencies, land developers, policy makers, and indeed the general public.
Therapeutic Function of Literary Accounts of the War in Ukraine Addressed to Children
Authors: Chłosta-Zielonka Joanna
Published: September 2024

The aim of the article is to analyse children’s books on war, written by Polish and Ukrainian authors, with special emphasis on the war in Ukraine. The starting point for the considerations is the methodology of children’s studies, which is a scientific discipline that places childhood as the subject of in-depth research. The interpretation used current data on psychological problems related to the youngest refugees from Ukraine. Children’s books by Polish authors published in the series Adult Wars – Children’s Stories about the war in Ukraine were analysed, and their indisputable therapeutic functions were indicated. Reading them individually or collectively brings relief to the traumas experienced by Ukrainian children who find themselves in exile in a new, unknown country. At the same time, it teaches compassion and creates empathy for those in need among the youngest Poles. Then, the works from the indicated series were compared with those written at the same time, i. e. from February 2022, by Ukrainian authors. It turned out that they did not take into account the psychological needs of Ukrainian children, promoting primarily patriotic content and focusing on providing knowledge about the homeland in a state of danger. The summary includes a postulate regarding the need to adapt the content and form of the message related to war in children’s literature to the audience of early school age, in such a way that its therapeutic function is fulfilled.

Over the course of one month, teachers assessed the progress of young children in various domains, including vocabulary acquisition, narrative fluency, and peer interaction. The results highlight the importance of providing diverse opportunities for play with stories, images, and music in supporting holistic development in young children. By integrating these rich experiences into early education practices, educators can effectively nurture linguistic, social, and emotional competencies, laying a solid foundation for lifelong learning and growth.
Pedagogy of Play in the Music Education of Third Grade Elementary School Students - a research report
Authors: Szczotka Martyna
Published: September 2024

Classes taught at school should be a space where students have the opportunity to fully develop, discover themselves, awaken and develop their potential and passions, as well as to acquire the knowledge necessary for effective functioning in the world. The use of properly selected methods during classes is essential to create an environment in which children can study and develop. Pedagogy of play incorporates a wealth of methods that offer a number of benefits and advantages that come with learning through play. Play triggers joy in children, creates space where they can be themselves, explore and be creative while improving the competencies necessary for life. Pedagogy of play also creates a favorable environment for working with children in music classes. The freedom and dynamics of play perfectly match the child’s musical activities. The main purpose of the study was to investigate how children function and perform during classes that incorporate musical pedagogy of play. The study was conducted using qualitative field research conducted at Bogdan Jański Elementary School in Kraków, Poland. The results of the study suggest that pedagogy of play creates a friendly environment for the development and formation of various competencies in children during a music class.
MINERALOGY OF THE LOWER JURASSIC IN WEST CENTRAL ALBERTA
Authors: Deere R. E. , Bayliss P.
Published: September 2024

The Lower Jurassic in the Rocky Mountain House area of central Alberta includes the lower part of the Fernie Formation, which may be subdivided into two distinct lithologic units: the Nordegg Member, and the Poker Chip Shale Member. These units were studied by power X-ray diffraction to determine semiquantitative values of mineralogy. The values were verified by data from atomic-absorption spectrometry and insoluble-residue calculations.

Quartz, calcite, and dolomite comprise the essential minerals of the Nordegg Member, with pyrite, siderite, and bituminous matter as accessories. On the basis of these minerals and the lithologic data, three major facies can be identified: a dolomitic sandstone along the eastern margin, which passes westerly into a bioclastic limestone, and a chert farther to the west. Deposition of the Nordegg Member was on a stable shelf with a shoreline lying to the east, and deeper waters to the west. Two possible ultimate sources for the abundant silica required for biogenic deposition of chert are available—volcanic ash from central British Columbia, or silica carried in solution by streams flowing westerly off the Precambrian Shield area.

Mineralogy of the Poker Chip Shale Member is less variable, with quartz, illite and kaolinite being the essential constituents and pyrite, siderite, and glauconite the accessory minerals. No facies relationships were observed in the Poker Chip Shale Member, but a depositional environment similar to that of the Nordegg Member is suggested.
THE TERTIARY KISHENEHN FORMATION, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Authors: Jones P. B.
Published: September 2024

The Tertiary Kishenehn Formation is exposed along the valley of the North Fork of the Flathead River in southeastern British Columbia and northern Montana. It consists of about 8,600 ft of relatively fine-grained lacustrine deposits, overlain by more than 7,000 ft of conglomerates and breccias. Landslide blocks of Proterozoic and Palaeozoic rocks occur as clasts several hundred feet across in the upper unit. These blocks were derived from the ancestral Clark Range to the east.

The Kishenehn was deposited in a half-graben on the downthrown (west) side of the Flathead fault, concurrently with late movement of the fault, upon an irregular surface eroded in gently dipping Mesozoic and Palaeozoic strata. Late movement of the Flathead fault resulted in eastward tilting of the Kishenehn and underlying strata to form the east flank of the MacDonald dome, a broad anticline west of the Flathead Valley.
PRELIMINARY FORAMINIFERAL ZONATION, RUNDLE GROUP AND UPPERMOST BANFF FORMATION (LOWER CARBONIFEROUS), SOUTHWESTERN ALBERTA
Authors: Petryk A. A. , Mamet B. L. , Macqueen R. W.
Published: September 2024

Lower Carboniferous rocks of the uppermost Banff Formation and the Rundle Group of southwestern Alberta contain an abundant foraminiferal microfauna and algal microflora, from which the distribution and relative abundance of 95 taxa have been determined. Foraminifera, which are most common in mixed skeletal and oolitic calcarenites, less common in micritic limestones, and least common in echinoderm-bryozoan limestones, permit recognition of Zones 7 to 16 of a widely applied zonal scheme derived initially from Carboniferous rocks of Europe. Vertical variations in foraminiferal families include an upward decrease in the abundance of endothyrids, tournayellids, and earlandiids, corresponding with an upward appearance and increase in the abundance of cornuspirids, forschiids, tetrataxids, palaeotextulariids, archaediscids, and others, and are similar to familial variations in Lower Carboniferous platform rocks in other parts of the world. The more precise correlations derived from the 95 microfaunal and microfloral taxa are in agreement with correlation of the Rundle Group, Pekisko, Shunda, and Turner Valley formations with the Rundle Group, Livingstone Formation, as recently indicated by lithostratigraphic and macrofaunal studies.

Preliminary foraminiferal zonation suggests the following ages: The uppermost Banff Formation is middle Tournaisian, whereas the overlying Pekisko Formation and the lower part of the Livingstone Formation are late middle Tournaisian. Foraminiferal data are as yet too meagre to delineate the precise Kinderhook-Osage boundary, in terms of the American Midcontinent stages. The Shunda Formation, and the middle part of the Livingstone Formation, are of late Tournaisian age. The Shunda - Turner Valley contact closely corresponds to the Tounaisian-Viséan boundary, which is approximately equivalent to the Osage-Meramec boundary of the American Midcontinent Lower Carboniferous. The upper Livingstone Formation (type area only) and the Turner Valley Formation are of early Viséan age. Overlying rocks of the Mount Head Formation (type area) are late early Viséan to middle late Viséan (Meramec). The Mount Head - Etherington contact corresponds to the base of the Aux Vases Sandstone (type Chester) of the Midcontinent. The transitional nature of the Mount Head - Etherington foraminiferal microfauna does not support the presence of a Meramec-Chester hiatus as previously postulated. The Lower Etherington Formation is latest Viséan in age.
THE EDMONTON GROUP OF SOUTH-CENTRAL ALBERTA
Authors: Irish E. J. W.
Published: September 2024

The Upper Cretaceous deltaic and fluvial strata lying between the marine Bearpaw and nonmarine Paskapoo Formations along the eastern side of the Alberta Syncline have been known, for many years, as the Edmonton Formation. Several subdivisions of these strata have been made based on lithologic differences in the exposure along Red Deer River valley. Owing, however, to the interlensed nature of the beds and lack of widespread marker zones, these divisions are useful for local correlation only.

The Whitemud and Battle units within the Edmonton succession have been correlated with the Whitemud and Battle Formations of southeastern Alberta. Together the two units are easily recognized in outcrop and form a marker zone for field mapping; the Battle Formation is readily distinguished also on electric logs of drilled wells and is, therefore, an excellent datum for subsurface correlation. Furthermore, the Kneehills tuff bed within the Battle unit is a time marker. Field work has shown that the lithology of these units is similar throughout the southern Plains of Alberta and, together, they are the only reliable lithologic marker above the marine Bearpaw Formation.

Paleontology, particularly the vertebrate dinosaurian fauna, lends support to a division of the strata above and below the Whitemud and Battle units.

For these reasons the Whitemud and Battle units have been given formational status and the name Horseshoe Canyon Formation is proposed for the nonmarine strata between the Bearpaw and Whitemud Formations. The three formations; Horseshoe Canyon, Whitemud, and Battle are considered to comprise the Edmonton Group.

Owing to the difficulty in defining the rather obscure boundary between Upper Cretaceous strata above the Battle and the overlying Paskapoo Formation it is considered preferable to include those beds, of Lance age, in the Paskapoo Formation. Such a revision results in an upper and a lower boundary for the Edmonton Group that are easily recognized both in outcrop and on mechanical logs of drilled wells.
PROPOSED REVISION OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PASKAPOO FORMATION IN THE ALBERTA PLAINS
Authors: Carrigy M. A.
Published: September 2024

The nomenclature of the post-Kneehills strata is revised by placing the lower boundary of the Paskapoo Formation at the top of the Kneehills Member (Battle Formation) of the Edmonton Formation in central Alberta. The redefined Paskapoo Formation thus becomes equivalent to the Willow Creek Formation of southwestern Alberta and now includes the Lance-equivalent beds and the Cretaceous-Tertiary transition. Evidence is presented to show that the Porcupine Hills Formation is much more extensive than formerly mapped and that it overlies the Paskapoo Formation in the vicinity of Calgary.
NEW EVIDENCE ON THE AGE OF THE SHEERNESS BADLANDS EAST-CENTRAL ALBERTA
Authors: Bihl Gerhard
Published: September 2024

Diagnostic fossil angiosperm pollen figured from an outcrop section show that lower Edmonton (pre-Lance) sediments are exposed near Sheerness, Alberta (Sec. 22, Twp. 29, Rge. 13, W 4th Mer.). These strata are of the same age as the beds below the Drumheller Marine Tongue of the Edmonton Formation exposed in the type section at Drumheller, Alberta (Sec. 14, Twp. 29, Rge. 20, W 4th Mer.). Structural data obtained from oil-well records between the two localities substantiate the fossil evidence, which shows that no sediments of Lance age are present in theSheerness badlands.
CARBONATE CONCRETIONS IN THE UPPER CRETACEOUS CEDAR DISTRICT FORMATION, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Authors: Rahmani R. A.
Published: September 2024

The Upper Cretaceous Cedar District Formation of British Columbia, composed of alternating sandstones, siltstones, and shales, contains carbonate concretions of varied shapes and sizes. Calcite is the essential component, but detrital grains are abundant where the concretions are located in silty or sandy beds.

Several features suggest that the concretions were formed immediately after deposition of the host sediments or shortly after shallow burial: (1) animal borings or burrows in the concretions filled with sediment from the host beds; (2) thickening of the host beds around the concretions; (3) the random orientation of some concretions with respect to bedding and lamination, and the stretching and folding of others where present in beds showing soft-sediment deformation; (4) undeformed bivalved shells enclosed in the concretions; and (5) the scarcity of grain to grain contacts among the included detrital grains, and the undeformed mica plates. The concretions probably grew by precipitation of CaCO3 near decomposing organic matter in reducing and high pH environments.

Erotismo e ilustração na poesia espanhola setecentista
Authors: Verneck Bruno
Published: September 2024

Desafiando as categorias da historiografia literária, a poesia espanhola do século XVIII circulou por zonas estéticas que pareceriam, à primeira vista, antagônicas na busca de uma linguagem capaz de exprimir o impulso renovador das ideias ilustradas que a permearam, levando-as, por vezes, ao limite. Neste artigo, buscamos articular estas tensões a partir da análise de alguns poemas eróticos escritos por três dos autores mais relevantes do período: Juan Meléndez Valdés, Félix María Samaniego e Nicolás Fernández de Moratín. A liberdade conferida pela matéria erótica mostra o vigor da poesia espanhola setecentista não apenas do ponto de vista formal, fundindo vertentes à primeira vista diversas, mas também habitando perigosamente a zona intersticial entre o mundo ansiado da ordem da razão ilustrada e seu inverso monstruoso.
Ambulation Support for Reduction of Pain and Uterine Fundal Height in Post-Cesarean (Case Study)
Authors: Rusdiana Meitania , Desmarnita Ulty
Published: September 2024

Cesarean sections continues to increase globally and now accounts for more than 1 in 5 (21%) of all births. A common problem after a cesarean section is discomfort. One of the discomforts felt after surgery is pain. The pain experienced by post-cesarean mothers is related to two main factors: surgical wounds and uterine contractions. This study aims to describe the effect of implementing ambulation support on pain and the reduction of uterine fundal height post-cesarean. The writing method is a case study. Ambulation support intervention was carried out gradually over 48 hours. After the implementation, the NRS pain scale results decreased from 5 to 3. The WBPRS pain scale decreased from 6 to 3. The uterine fundal height decreased from 12.5 cm to 8 cm, decreasing more rapidly by 4.5 cm on the second day.

Published: September 2024

Post cesarean section (CS) is a physiological condition that occurs in women who give birth via cesarean section or surgery. The changes include pain, uterine involution, breastfeeding (ASI) production, and psychological adjustments.. According to research, 20-80% of post CS patients experience moderate to severe pain that is inadequately managed. In Indonesia, this occurs at a rate of 30-80%. The effective breastfeeding rate in Indonesia is 55.5%, which does not yet meet the national target of 80%. Given the magnitude of these issues, the author aims to describe the influence of oxytocin massage application on pain levels and ASI production in post CS patients through this scientific work. The methodology used is a case study involving patients Mrs. L on their first day post CS. The intervention was applied from the second to the third day post CS, twice daily. The results of this application show that oxytocin massage can reduce pain from a scale of 7 to 3 and increase breast milk production, with a cumulative increase from no milk output to more than 50 cc.. It is hoped that the application of evidence-based nursing: oxytocin massage can be implemented as a standard intervention for post CS patients in hospitals.

Integrated Clinical Pathway of diabetic retinopaty Screening in the North West Tuscany Local Health Authority
Authors: Pancani, F.
Published: September 2024

La retinopatia diabetica (RD) è la prima causa di cecità in età lavorativa nella popolazione generale dei paesi industrializzati, compresa la Regione Toscana, con altissimi costi sociali e di salute. Lo screening della RD è rapido, ben tollerato dai pazienti ed è considerato una delle procedure più costo-efficacia conosciute in medicina. Le evidenze scientifiche oggi disponibili hanno dimostrato che, mediante programmi di screening e trattamento della RD è possibile ridurre drasticamente la cecità da diabete. In Italia, dove solo raramente tali programmi sono applicati sul territorio, sono ancora molti i pazienti diabetici nei quali si riscontrano le complicanze più gravi della RD. Dati dell’ARS Toscana relativi al 2021 mostravano che nell’Asl Nord-Ovest solo il 11,15% dei pazienti con diabete effettuava un controllo dell’occhio almeno una volta nell’anno. Allo scopo di definire un protocollo condiviso per lo screening della retinopatia diabetica nell’ambito del nostro territorio ossia quello dell’Azienda USL Toscana Nord Ovest (ATNO) abbiamo definito un Piano Diagnostico Terapeutico Aziendale (PDTA), che ha inoltre lo scopo di fornire informazioni circa le indicazioni, la modalità di esecuzione e la corretta interpretazione dei risultati derivanti dalla valutazione del fundus oculare mediante retinografo non midriatico per la valutazione e stadiazione della RD nel paziente affetto da diabete mellito. PAROLE CHIAVE: diabete; screening; retinografo; retinopatia; edema maculare.
