Comparativo por género sobre la percepción de la solución de problemas en alumnos de negocios internacionales
Authors: Farias Montemayor Oscar Mario , Salas Torres Luis Horacio , Barboza Lara César Rolando , Montano Pérez Blanca Estela
Published: January 2025

La solución de problemas es una habilidad ampliamente demandada en el actual mundo laboral, siendo desarrollada en la facultad y de acuerdo con estudios previos, es percibida como importante por la mayoría del alumnado de negocios internacionales, pero al estar conformada la matrícula por mujeres y hombres surge la incógnita ¿existe una diferencia entre el género del alumnado y la importancia que perciben sobre la solución de problemas? Para obtener la respuesta se realizó en la Facultad de Contaduría y Administración (unidad norte) de la Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila, una investigación cuyo objetivo fue determinar si existe diferencia estadística entre la percepción de la importancia sobre la resolución de problemas según el género del alumno. Se recabaron datos de 165 entrevistas individuales de alumnos de negocios internacionales. Para contrastar la hipótesis “existe una percepción diferente entre alumnas y alumnos sobre la importancia de la resolución de problemas” se aplicó la prueba estadística “U de Mann-Whitney” a los datos obtenidos con la finalidad de comparar ambos grupos, resultando que no existe diferencia entre la percepción de la importancia de las habilidades para resolver problemas a pesar del género del alumno. Este resultado es muy importante para la facultad porque no se deben hacer otras acciones dado que la mayoría (tanto alumnas como alumnos) perciben de forma similar la importancia de la habilidad de solución de problemas.

Published: January 2025

La economía colaborativa ha surgido como un modelo socioeconómico innovador que promueve el intercambio eficiente de recursos infrautilizados mediante plataformas digitales, desafiando los paradigmas tradicionales de consumo y producción. Este estudio analiza el potencial de la economía colaborativa para mejorar la competitividad y sostenibilidad de las pequeñas y microempresas (MIPYMES) en La Esperanza, una parroquia rural de Ecuador. A través de una revisión de literatura y análisis contextual, se identificaron oportunidades clave para implementar modelos colaborativos como el consumo compartido, la producción colaborativa, el financiamiento colectivo y el aprendizaje abierto. Mediante un enfoque metodológico mixto, que incluye una encuesta a emprendedores locales, se observó que la conectividad limitada, la falta de educación financiera y la resistencia al cambio son desafíos clave, pero los beneficios potenciales justifican los esfuerzos. Los resultados destacan que las MIPYMES locales pueden aprovechar la economía colaborativa para optimizar recursos, acceder a financiamiento y fortalecer su sostenibilidad. Las conclusiones apuntan a la necesidad de políticas públicas, capacitación y alianzas estratégicas para maximizar el impacto positivo de este modelo en la parroquia La Esperanza.

Authors: Gómez Vera Jessica Jeanneth , Cortez Chagray Hernán Julian
Published: January 2025

La dislexia es un trastorno específico del aprendizaje que afecta habilidades como la lectura, escritura y ortografía, con un impacto significativo en estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales (NEE). Este estudio realiza una revisión sistemática para analizar cómo la dislexia afecta el desarrollo académico y socioemocional de estudiantes en la educación básica elemental. Además, busca identificar barreras, estrategias pedagógicas y herramientas tecnológicas que fomenten la inclusión educativa. La investigación sigue la metodología PRISMA, que proporciona un marco riguroso para seleccionar y analizar literatura científica. Se revisaron estudios publicados entre 2019 y 2024 en bases de datos académicas como Scopus, Google Scholar, Semantic scholar y Dialnet Plus. Los criterios de inclusión abarcaron investigaciones sobre dislexia en estudiantes de educación básica elemental con NEE, mientras que se excluyeron estudios centrados en niveles educativos superiores o con datos insuficientes. Los resultados destacan barreras académicas, emocionales y sociales para estudiantes con dislexia, como dificultades en la lectura y escritura, baja autoestima y ansiedad. Las estrategias pedagógicas multisensoriales, como el método Orton-Gillingham, y el uso de tecnologías asistivas, han mostrado ser efectivas para mejorar la integración académica y social de estos estudiantes. Sin embargo, se identifican limitaciones como la falta de formación docente especializada y recursos pedagógicos adecuados. En conclusión, la dislexia impacta significativamente en los estudiantes con NEE, pero puede ser mitigada mediante estrategias inclusivas, tecnologías asistivas y diagnósticos tempranos. Es crucial fortalecer la capacitación docente y diseñar políticas inclusivas efectivas para garantizar una educación equitativa y de calidad.

Authors: Kot Halina , Wilczynska Malgorzata , Salabura Daniel , Dabek Artur , Walenia Alina
Published: January 2025

The aim of the study was to analyse the competitiveness of European countries among themselves in terms of socio-economic development. 27 countries of the European Union were included in the analysis. Real gross domestic product per capita was selected for analysis as the main indicator of the economic development of the country. As the main indicator of social development – the aggregate index of human development. To determine the level of competitiveness of each country, a two-dimensional matrix was used, which was based on the calculation of integral indicators of real gross domestic product per capita and the Human Development Index in dynamics for the period 2013-2022. The competitiveness study was able to develop nine quadrants of a two-dimensional matrix, each describing the competitive position of a European country. Countries such as Germany, France, and Italy, although they had high absolute performance both in 2013 and in 2023, but the dynamics of improvement of such performance is much lower compared to the rest of European countries. Some countries have better development of economic indicators than social indicators in the dynamics, such as Hungary and Bulgaria. The only country with predominant rates of social development over economic development is Luxembourg. The other 16 countries of the European Union occupy medium positions of competitiveness, which indicates their gradual development with low rates. Croatia, Lithuania, Poland, Cyprus, and Malta are sustainable competitive countries that, during 2013-2023, most efficiently utilised existing resources and potential for both social and economic development. The results obtained will be useful for professionals developing national competitive strategies and programmes, as the results of the analysis provided a 10-year view of the sustainable competitiveness of each European country
Consumer psychology and the effectiveness of marketing campaigns: The influence of psychological factors on consumer preferences and purchases
Authors: Spytska Liana
Published: January 2025

This article examined the relationship between psychological factors and consumer behaviour within the context of marketing campaigns in Ukraine. The research involved observing consumer behaviour, conducting surveys to collect quantitative data on preferences, and performing experiments to assess the impact of marketing strategies on consumer behaviour. The study found that consumers are drawn to products with appealing designs that evoke positive emotions, such as joy and satisfaction, and that are associated with pleasant memories or feelings of comfort. Products with social approval (positive reviews, recommendations) are perceived more favourably than those with neutral or negative reviews, as they significantly increase consumer interest and trust. The balance between price and product quality, as well as its environmental sustainability, are also important factors influencing purchasing decisions. Advertising is most effectively received through video. Thanks to audiovisual elements, video advertising engages with the audience more effectively and leaves a more lasting impression compared to newsletters or banners. Promotions, discounts, and product sampling are effective marketing tactics aimed at achieving short-term sales growth and enhancing consumer satisfaction. The research identified psychological consumer segments: those who value innovation and cutting-edge technology, and those who are focused on economic benefits. The findings emphasised that considering psychological factors is crucial for developing effective marketing strategies and increasing consumer interest. These insights can be practically applied by marketers when planning advertising campaigns or identifying the target audience for a product

Authors:   Global Convergence Research Academy, Jung Chae-Young
Published: January 2025

Smartphones have become a necessity for modern people in the modern era when the information society is coming. This change has fallen into the dysfunction of SNS addiction in extreme use in that it allows SNS to establish and expand relationships that have been maintained offline. This is connected to dopamine's pleasure system and leads to damage to the frontal lobe, which reduces smartphone suppression. While various solutions to SNS addiction are being proposed, this study focuses on information ethics education and aims to find out how SNS addiction affects information ethics education and educational satisfaction. Therefore, it was hypothesized that the relationship between SNS addiction, ethics education, and education satisfaction would have a positive (+) effect sequentially, and this was statistically analyzed. As a result of the study, the hypothesis that SNS addiction has a positive (+) effect on ethical education was significant, and the hypothesis that ethical education has a positive (+) effect on educational satisfaction was also significant, so the hypothesis of this study was adopted.

Published: January 2025

In the contemporary business landscape, sales performance is a pivotal factor in ensuring an organization's long-term growth and profitability. To enhance sales performance, many organizations have implemented incentive programs aimed at strengthening employee motivation. Previous research identifies motivational factors as verbal praise, tangible praise, and institutional praise [1], with each type having potentially distinct effects on employee motivation. This study examines the influence of incentives on sales performance, focusing on the three types of praise identified in prior studies. It further analyzes the mediating effects of individual and group incentives on sales performance. Data were collected through a survey administered to LG Electronics sales representatives. Hypotheses were tested using PLS 4.0 (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling). The empirical findings are as follows: First, verbal praise does not have a significant impact on individual incentives, leading to the rejection of H1-1-1. Institutional praise does not significantly affect group incentives, resulting in the rejection of H1-3-2. Thus, H1 was partially supported. Second, individual incentives were found to have a significant positive impact on sales performance, supporting H2-1. Similarly, group incentives significantly and positively influenced sales performance, supporting H2-2. Consequently, H2 was fully supported.

The results of the study are summarized as follows. First, the usefulness, convenience and speed of external customers had a significant effect on satisfaction. Second, the accuracy of internal employees did not significantly affect the satisfaction. Third, satisfaction had a significant effect on the intention to continue using. Through this study, users should be able to use it actively without difficulty, and effective measures for quality improvement should be prepared.
Overcoming Trumpery

How to restore ethics, the rule of law, and democracy as the centerpieces of U.S. government

U.S. government has been repeatedly renewed—sometimes simply repaired and other times reinvented—during its over 230 years. Major aspects of the federal system were broken again during the four years of the Trump administration, so it’s time for even more fixes. This book sets out the damage that was done and important ideas on how the repairs should be made, focusing on ethics, the rule of law, and democracy.

Distinguished scholars and practitioners have come together not only to address what went awry over the past four years, but also the deeper weaknesses that have become more evident, and how those weaknesses can be repaired. The problem areas range from ethics and conflicts of interest to the Hatch Act and big money in politics, and from independence at the Department of Justice and government transparency to reestablishing Congressional oversight, and the government’s role in the broader areas of how Americans vote and of international ethics and rule of law.

Overcoming Trumpery provides a framework to understand the significant developments that are already happening in Washington with respect to ethics, the rule of law, and democracy. These include the “For the People Act,” the “Protecting Our Democracy Act,” and President Biden’s Executive Order on Ethics.

The ideas outlined in this book for fixing flaws in federal governance come from the more than century of collective experience of its expert authors. The book represents a burst of sunshine after a very dark period in the nation’s history.
KI-gestützte Ermittlungen und der Kernbereich privater Lebensgestaltung
Authors: Banert Christian
Published: January 2025

The author asks whether AI can help to reconcile the protection of the core area of privacy with the interest in effective criminal investigation through secret investigative methods: It is possible that an AI can independently detect and eliminate core content before the results reach the investigators. This is analysed on the basis of four covert investigation methods: acoustic surveillance of living spaces, online searches, telecommunications surveillance and acoustic surveillance outside living spaces. The analysis shows that AI can protect the core area and increase the efficiency of investigations. However, adjustments to the criminal procedure code are necessary.
La lutte vélo-politaine: estudio de la infraestructura ciclable de la metrópolis de París
Authors: Royo Zabala Peio
Published: January 2025

Since its widespread appearance in the Paris region, the bicycle has been a notorious player in urban mobility, with many ups and downs in its use and in the implementation of the infrastructure that makes it possible. In a context of climate emergency and the urgent need for alternatives to polluting modes of transport, the French capital and its metropolitan area are formalising their model of pedalling mobility in a coordinated and coherent manner with the territory. In order to characterise the evolution of cycling infrastructure, attention will be paid to the frameworks of interest for cycling mobility (efficiency, safety, competitiveness and inclusivity) and the current state of the built cycling infrastructure will be analysed from the prisms of geographical support, territorial accessibility and the urban activity around it. This way it will be possible to understand the logics that articulate cycling mobility in the Parisian metropolis and its prospective.

A Diversified Approach to Fission Puzzles
Authors: Mooney Justin ,   Journal of Philosophy Inc.
Published: January 2025

I introduce a new approach to fission puzzles called the Diversified Approach that proceeds by distinguishing different kinds of fission and assimilating each kind to a different ordinary phenomenon, such as breaking apart, replication, or part loss. To illustrate this approach, I apply it to the case of amoebic fission. The upshot is a novel account of amoebic fission according to which the dividing amoeba ceases to exist because it breaks apart. After developing this solution and highlighting some of its advantages, I discuss briefly how the Diversified Approach can be extended to other varieties of fission.
The Female Demon of Sīwa: The Mute Widow. A Study in Doctrinal Reconciliation (غولة سيوة: الأرملة البكماء. دراسة في التوفيق العقائدي)
Authors: El-Adly Saber
Published: January 2025

It is undeniable that the occurrence of death in any human group has a general impact on the living, particularly the deceased’s relatives. These include the restrictions, warnings, and risks that echo its consequences and its period of influence over those closest to the deceased: the spouse, children, siblings, and so on.

From another perspective, grief surrounding the deceased is reflected in his household. What is curious, however, is what has become commonplace among the Sīwans, in naming the grieving widow ġūla (a kind of female demon) and their reactions, initially appearing exaggerated. However, when delving deeper, it becomes evident that it stems from acknowledging human vulnerability in the face of emotional or material losses and the need for compassion.

Furthermore, the death of the husband is often viewed as if it carries not only physical absence but a curse upon the widow’s house. This mourning intensifies through actions such as shaving the widow’s hair as a symbol of sorrow, an extreme measure to keep misfortune and evil at bay. Food is also subjected to specific taboos regarding preparation and distribution. This reflects their belief that widowhood itself holds a deeper, unrelenting sadness.

The article examines the beliefs and rituals concerning death in the Egyptian oasis of Sīwa.

The Infraction of the Religious Codes in the Mediterranean Folk Literature: The Case of the Islamic Ǧuḥā and the Sicilian Giufà
Authors: Corrao Francesca M.
Published: January 2025

Ǧuḥā, also known as Nasreddin Hoca, is a cunning-fool hero; more than a thousand years ago he became the lucky protagonist of a series of comic stories known all over the Mediterranean area. Ǧuḥā’s legend, born in the Arab world around the 8th century, was spread in the Ottoman age all over the Turkish dominions; and eight centuries after the Arabs left Sicily, his stories are still alive in Sicilian lore.

This paper examines a particular aspect of Ǧuḥā’s stories, which has emerged as a result of a comparative study of the Arabic, Turkish, and Sicilian traditions; the study deals with Ǧuḥā’s behaviour towards religious codes and death.
Two Apotropaic Texts from the Jewish Museum of Budapest
Authors: Fröhlich Ida
Published: January 2025

The Old Testament tradition frowns on magic and belief in demons. However, despite all disapproval, the practice of magic has a long tradition in Jewish lore, from antiquity up to the present day. Beliefs in demons have been widely known since ancient times, together with various methods of magic used to avert the evil influence of demons.

This paper presents two printed apotropaic texts concerning the warding off of demons from the Jewish Museum of Budapest. The texts, printed in Budapest on sheets of 9×15 cm at the beginning of the 20th century, were – according to Jewish tradition – to be placed in the window of women’s room in a childbed. This practice is believed to ward off demons that threaten mother and child.

«Move Slow and Mend Things»: el surgimiento de una nueva generación de tipógrafos y tipógrafas como doble operación de resistencia a las narrativas hegemónicas del capitalismo tardomoderno
Authors: Elizalde-Bulanti Marisa
Published: January 2025

En los últimos años ha surgido una nueva generación de tipógrafos y tipógrafas que, a contracorriente de los tiempos actuales, no se dedican a la tipografía digital, sino que aprenden y practican el arte tipográfico a la vieja usanza, con tipos móviles y prensas manuales. Con una mirada sociológica, en este artículo argumento que en esta reapropiación de la tipografía tradicional existe una doble operación de resistencia a las narrativas hegemónicas de la sociedad del capitalismo tardío: por un lado, conceptualmente, mediante la idealización del pasado como reacción a la obsesión con la productividad del presente y, por otro, materialmente, como instrumento para producir material gráfico de protesta, conforme a la larga tradición del arte tipográfico asociado a la gráfica contestaria de movimientos políticos y sociales.
Circular libros, prensas y tipografía: protestantismo e ideología en el occidente mexicano, el caso de Aguascalientes y Zacatecas (1823-1873)
Authors: González Lourdes Calíope Martínez
Published: January 2025

En este artículo se tiene como propósito trazar las redes intelectuales interregionales a través de la identificación de los agentes del libro partícipes en periódicos, libros, folletos y hojas sueltas, siguiendo sus intereses e intercambios ideológicos, comerciales y materiales, en el contexto de la apertura de las fronteras y rutas comerciales a partir de la declarada independencia de México y en el anhelo liberal de introducirse en la modernidad decimonónica lo que permitió la llegada de agentes bíblicos en el territorio. Estos colportores introdujeron otras formas de circulación de lo impreso, trazaron rutas comerciales y se vincularon a las redes liberales en diversas regiones del país. En Aguascalientes y Zacatecas, estos agentes bíblicos se relacionaron a liberales radicales y artesanos ilustrados a través de la venta de impresos religiosos, la venta de prensas y tipografía, en un periodo que comprende desde la introducción de las imprentas locales (1823) y la llegada de los misioneros protestantes a México (1873). A lo largo del artículo se puede constatar la importancia que tuvieron la ideología y la religión en la circulación de impresos, las herramientas y los materiales propios de un taller de imprenta, propiciando articulaciones regionales desde la cultura escrita.

Published: January 2025

Este trabalho busca apresentar o caso da pioneira fundição de tipos na cidade de Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Além dos aspectos históricos e políticos envolvidos, o foco principal desta investigação é a dimensão tipográfica, considerando a materialidade (a letra impressa) e a imaterialiadade (traços identitários). O objetivo é traçar a origem e reconstituir aspectos históricos por meio de análises formais do tipo de letra usado nos primeiros impressos realizados em Minas Gerais. Os procedimentos metodológicos incluem revisão bibliográfica, pesquisa em acervos históricos e técnicas de análise e classificação tipográfica. Os resultados corroboram a produção de tipos e equipamentos de impressão, ampliando o conhecimento sobre a tipografia brasileira. Além disso, destacam-se conexões que vão além do Brasil e de Portugal, encontrando raízes identitárias também na Escócia.

In this research, we looked at the reasons why technology hasn't had a positive influence on education in the past and listed the prerequisites for its future successful application. Teachers must go past Familiarisation and Utilisation and into the Reorientation, Integration, and Evolution stages of technology usage if they are to employ concept and product technologies successfully. Teachers may rethink their duties in the classroom after learning how to use technology. Teachers may design spaces where students actively participate in cognitive partnerships with technology by drawing on research results from cognitive psychology and other relevant fields.

Ein fundiertes Fachwissen, sorgfältige Recherche und effektive Nutzung von Übersetzungstechnologien sind entscheidend, um eine korrekte und verständliche Übersetzung zu gewährleisten. Aus diesem Grund ist es besonders wichtig Studierenden die Notwendigkeit der Kenntnis der Benennungsbildung deutscher Termini bewußt zu machen. Darüber soll dieser Aufsatz ihre Aufmerksamkeit wecken.
A National Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network in Yemen: An Urgent Call for Action
Authors: Abdul-Ghani Rashad
Published: January 2025

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health concern that requires well-coordinated surveillance systems. In Yemen, the lack of a surveillance network hampers efforts to combat AMR and make it difficult to collect and analyze AMR data for strategic interventions. To obtain reliable information about AMR emergence and patterns, an extensive surveillance system that includes hospitals, clinics and laboratories is crucial. The government’s adoption of this system, along with the nomination of an AMR steering committee, can facilitate standardization of protocols and data integration related to AMR. Strengthening surveillance is key to combating AMR, and establishing a national AMR network can serve as an early warning system for the emergence and patterns of AMR.

The objective of the article is to estimate the influence of factors on supply and demand trade credit in case of buying and selling agricultural materials of agents and rice farmers in the Mekong Delta, Vienam. The estimated results from the primary data of 574 transactions show that there are three factors that have positive coefficients with statistical significance in two states of supply and demand (familiar time, agent number and agricultural land area farmer's karma). The geographical distance factor has statistical significance in two states of supply and demand, but in the supply state, this factor has a positive coefficient and in the demand state, this factor has a negative coefficient. Three factors with statistically negative coefficients in both states are the experience of farmers, farming income and translation value. In addition, for experienced agents that have a positive influence on commercial credit level, for farmers, the number of agents has a positive influence on the ability to buy the farmer. The research results can enable stakeholders (farmers, input suppliers, and government agencies) to make decisions that improve operational performance and foster sustainable agriculture.
The impact of energy efficiency on CO2 emissions in Vietnam
Authors:   The FEMRG research group, Ho Chi Minh City Open University, Vietnam, Bùi Hoàng Ngọc
Published: January 2025

Pollution is a challenge for humanity in general and for developing countries in particular. Effective use of energy sources is expected to be the solution to reduce the burden on environmental quality. This study aims to assess the impact of economic growth, biomass consumption, and energy efficiency on CO2 emissions in Vietnam during 1971- 2022. Linear autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) approaches are applied simultaneously to answer the question of whether the influence of energy efficiency on CO2 emissions in Vietnam is symmetric or asymmetric. The empirical results show that the influence of energy efficiency on CO2 emissions is asymmetrical in the long term. Increasing energy efficiency will reduce CO2 emissions, but negative changes are smaller than positive changes. The new findings enrich the literature, but more importantly, they help policymakers have more empirical evidence for designing energy development policies while exploring the possibility of making energy efficiency requirements mandatory for organizations and residents.

Multi-tier social security is a social insurance model designed at many levels, aiming to ensure comprehensive and sustainable social security suitable for different groups of subjects and levels of contribution in society. In Vietnam, the Law on Social Insurance 2024, passed by the 15th National Assembly on June 29, 2024, marks a significant step forward in developing a multi-tier social insurance system. Using the method of synthesizing materials and analyzing legal information, the article highlights experiences from various countries worldwide, including Thailand, China, and Sweden. It also focuses on identifying new features in the current legal regulations on multi-tiered social insurance in Vietnam, as reflected in the provisions of the 2024 Social Insurance Law concerning social pension benefits, basic social insurance regulations, and supplementary pension insurance. Based on this analysis, the article proposes several recommendations for competent state authorities to improve and enhance the effectiveness of implementing multi-tiered social insurance laws in Vietnam.
