Research background: The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector is considered to be an environment where purchasing habits prevail, thus not conducive to the implementation of innovative products. In this context, implementing innovative food products into the market is particularly difficult. Nevertheless, companies are constantly developing new goods and introducing them to market. Increased price sensitivity and high competitive pressure force companies to develop continuously, which in the market segment under consideration is primarily incremental development. Purpose of the article: The main purpose of the manuscript is to identify purchasing behaviour and factors influencing the purchase of fast-moving infant and toddler products. Methods: In order to answer the research problem posed, statistical analyses were carried out using the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 package. It was used to perform an analysis of basic descriptive statistics with the Shapiro-Wilk test, a frequency analysis with the chi-square test of concordance, the Mann-Whitney test, the chi-square test of independence and Pearson's r correlation analysis. The significance level in this chapter was considered to be α = 0.05. The data analysis was based on the responses of 440 respondents (n = 440). Findings & Value added: This article attempts to identify food product innovations and consumer behaviour towards the introduction of these innovations. The wide range of fast- moving goods on offer has influenced the narrowing down of the adopted product group of the FMCG sector. Analysis will focus on fast-moving food products for babies and young children. Thus, it will be the parents who will make the decision to purchase such products. Keywords: management, benefits, innovation, products, economy, buying behaviour, FMCG sector. Category of the paper: Research paper.
PRM Path Smoothening by Circular Arc Fillet Method for Mobile Robot Navigation
Authors: KILIÇARSLAN OUACH Meral , EREN Tolga , ÖZCAN Evrencan
Published: January 2024

The problem of motion planning and navigation for mobile robots in complex environments has been a central issue in robotics. Navigating these environments requires sophisticated algorithms that handle obstacles and provide smooth, efficient paths. The Probabilistic Roadmap (PRM) method is a widespread technique in robotics for constructing paths for mobile robot navigation. In this study, we propose a novel path-smoothing method using arc fillets for path planning, building on PRM's foundation in the presence of obstacles. Our method operates in two primary stages to improve path efficiency and quality. The first stage generates the shortest path between the initial and goal states in an obstacle-rich environment using PRM, constructing a straight-line, collision-free route. The second stage smooths corners caused by nodes with arc fillets, ensuring smooth turns and minimizing abrupt changes in direction, resulting in more natural and efficient robot motion. We conducted simulations and tests using various PRM features to evaluate the proposed method. The results indicate that the built route offers a smooth turning motion and quicker, more compact movement while evading obstacles. This study contributes to mobile robot navigation by offering a practical approach to improving pathway quality in challenging environments.

Authors: ALAGOZ Celal
Published: January 2024

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) detection from intracardiac Electrogram (EGM) signals is a critical aspect of cardiovascular health monitoring. This study explores the application of Minirocket, a time series classification (TSC) algorithm, for robust and efficient AF detection. A comparative analysis is conducted against a deep learning approach using a subset of the dataset from Rodrigo et al. (2022). The study investigates the robustness of Minirocket in the face of shorter EGM sequences and varying training sizes, essential for real-world applications such as wearable and implanted devices. Empirical runtime analysis further assesses the efficiency of Minirocket in comparison to conventional machine learning (ML) algorithms. The results showcase Minirocket's notable performance, especially in scenarios with shorter signals and varying training sizes, making it a promising candidate for streamlined AF detection in emerging cardiovascular monitoring technologies. This research contributes to the optimization of AF detection algorithms for increased efficiency and adaptability to dynamic clinical scenarios.
Flexibility as a double-edged sword? Language learner autonomy in a blended self-directed learning program beyond the classroom
Authors: Yang Fang-Ying
Published: January 2024

This study proposed and implemented a blended self-directed learning program for English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) college students beyond the classroom. Adopting a case study-mixed methods design, the study aimed to investigate (1) learners’ engagement in the program, (2) the effects of the program, and (3) learners’ perceptions of the affective, resource, and capacity supports offered by the program. Thirty-six students voluntarily participated in a 12-week self-directed listening program, which offered both in-person and online learning resources along with mechanisms designed to support students’ self-regulated learning outside of the classroom. Data collection included (1) TOEFL listening pre- and post-test scores, (2) Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ) pre- and post-test scores, (3) an English learning motivation questionnaire, (4) learning diaries, (5) activity participation records, (6) an end-of-program questionnaire, and (7) end-of-program interviews. The findings showed that participants perceived learning flexibility within the program as both a pivotal strength and a notable weakness. The participants, who generally demonstrated reactive autonomy, actually depended on and expected various forms of external regulation to sustain their learning motivation. Also, the highly engaged learners had more growth in metacognitive awareness of listening than did less engaged ones. By engaging in self-directed learning, learners actively exercised their agency to (re)construct their personal language learning ecologies, a process that was found to require teacher guidance.

Authors: AKTOP Vildan Saba
Published: January 2024

Günümüzde dünya ekonomisindeki gelişmeler nedeniyle genç istihdamı, dış ticaret ve ekonomik büyüme açısından önem kazanmıştır. İşgücünün niteliğinin, verimliliğinin artırılmasına, istihdam olanaklarının genişletilmesi ve istihdamı için özel politika gerektiren gruplar içinde yer alan gençler için atılan adımlar ekonomik büyümeyi ve dış ticareti olumlu etkilemektedir. Dış ticaret teorilerinde dış ticaret ve istihdam ilişkisi farklı açılardan ele alınmıştır. İş gücüne yapılan yatırım düzeyi ülkeler arasında farklılık göstermesi nedeniyle işgücünün niteliği ülkeler arasında farklılaşmakta ve bu farklılık uluslararası ticareti de belirlemektedir. Özellikle mesleki ve teknik lise ve yükseköğretim mezunu, ne eğitimde ne de istihdamda olan gençlerin sayısının artması ve bu kesimin aktif iş hayatı içerisinde olmaması ülkenin üretim ve ihracat potansiyelinin altında kalmasına neden olacaktır. Bu nedenle katma değeri yüksek, ihracata yönelik üretim yapan sektörlerde nitelikli ve eğitimli gençlerin istihdam edilmesi ve gençlerin girişimciliğe yönlendirilmesi gerekmektedir. Çalışmada Türkiye’ye ait 2005:1 ve 2022:4 dönemindeki üç aylık verilerle genç istihdamı ile ihracat, ithalat ve gayrisafi yurtiçi hasıla değişkenleri arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi Todo-Yamamoto nedensellik testi ile incelenmiştir. Todo-Yamamoto nedensellik testi sonuçlarına göre genç istihdamı ile ihracat, ithalat ve gayrisafi yurtiçi hasıla değişkenleri arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir.
Bridging the Gender Gap: A Canadian Study Examining Gender Inequality in Engineering Workplaces
Authors: Pitka Eda , Tézli Annette
Published: January 2024

Despite considerable work to encourage women to enter the profession, engineering continues to be heavily male dominated. Research shows that women in engineering experience unequal treatment starting from their entry into the occupation. My research will discuss the experiences of gender inequality for women working in engineering fields by looking at the empirical literature examining the hiring process, chilly climates, hostile work environments, pay and promotion inequalities, and the challenges women engineers face due to competing identities and motherhood. I will show that the oppression and inequality of women reflects and perpetuates a culture that favors male-dominance and exclusionary practices within the engineering profession.

Authors:   Korea Accounting Information Association, Lee Jaehyoung , Lee Jong Eun , Yu Hagyeong
Published: January 2024

[Purpose] This study investigates the impact of the introduction of the director’s Liability Limitation Provision(hereafter LLP) in firms on credit ratings. Furthermore, it examines how such impacts vary depending on the ownership stake and investment horizon of the National Pension Fund.
[Methodology] We conduct empirical analysis using data from companies traded on the Korea Exchange from 2012 to 2017. The key findings are as follows.
[Findings] Firstly, we find that firms introducing LLP tend to have lower credit ratings compared to those that do not introduce it. Secondly, when the National Pension Fund holds a substantial ownership stake (5% or more), LLP firms tend to have higher credit ratings than those that have not. Finally, when the National Pension Fund’s investment horizon is three years or more, there is a positive relationship between the introduction of LLP and credit ratings；however, such a relationship is not significant when the investment horizon is less than three years.
[Implications] These results imply that the introduction of LLP can have a negative impact on corporate governance. Furthermore, it highlights the role of shareholder activism by the National Pension Fund, in mitigating these negative impact.

Published: January 2024

Rice stands as an important staple crop in Indonesia and Asia, prompting endeavors to enhance its production. One such technology, aimed at intensifying rice cultivation, involves optimizing plant density utilizing the "jajar legowo" system. This research was conducted within community rice fields located in Pasar Ambacang, Kuranji District, Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia, spanning from February 2020 to June 2020. The primary objective of this study was to assess the potential of the jajar legowo planting system, in conjunction with varying dosages of kieserite, to increase lowland rice yields. The study employed a two-factor experiment in a completely randomized design. The first factor is the jajar legowo types: A (25 cm x 12.5 cm x 50 cm) and B (25 cm x 25 cm x 50 cm). The second factor involved different kieserite dosages, comprising three levels (0, 150, 300 kg.ha-1). Each treatment combination was replicated four times. Our investigation unveiled that rice panicle length reached 27.20 cm under the influence of jajar legowo type A with a kieserite dosage of 150 kg.ha-1. Conversely, with the application of jajar legowo type B alongside a kieserite dose of 300 kg.ha-1, the rice panicle length increased to 27.88 cm. The highest yield was obtained with jajar legowo type A at a dose of 300 kg.ha-1, producing 5.35 tons.ha-1. It is recommended to implement the jajar legowo  type A cropping pattern with the addition of 150 kg.ha-1 of kieserite, or jajar legowo  type B with the addition of 300 kg.ha-1 of kieserite.

Published: January 2024

Objetivos: Analisar tendência da mortalidade por ATT no Estado do Maranhão e suas regiões de saúde de 2006 a 2017. Métodos: Os dados foram obtidos no Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade do Ministério da Saúde. Para o cálculo das taxas de mortalidade por ATT, foram utilizadas as projeções populacionais do IBGE de 2006 a 2017 e a população calculada por meio de interpolação polinomial para 2016 e 2017. As taxas de mortalidade por ATT foram analisadas por regressão de Prais-Winsten, utilizando o software Stata 14.0. Foi calculada também a taxa de incremento médio anual percentual (TIA). Resultados: No período ocorreram 16.690 óbitos por ATT, com maior taxa de mortalidade por ATT padronizada de 25,9/100 mil habitantes (2014). A tendência de mortalidade por ATT do Estado do Maranhão foi crescente (TIA=0,04%, IC95%=0,00;00,6). Foi verificado permanência de 1º lugar no ranking de mortalidade por ATT na região de saúde de Imperatriz (27,2 para 45,6/100 mil habitantes). A tendência foi crescente em 14 das 19 regiões de saúde. Os maiores aumentos foram observados nas regiões de Balsas, Pedreiras, Pinheiro e São João dos Patos (TIA=0,08%), com estacionariedade em Bacabal (TIA=0,01%), Caxias (TIA=0,03%), Chapadinha (TIA=0,06%), Imperatriz (TIA=0,06%), Presidente Dutra (TIA=0,04%), e São Luís (TIA=0, 03%). Nenhuma região apresentou tendência decrescente da mortalidade por ATT. Conclusões: Os resultados exibem diferenças entre as Regiões de Saúde do Estado. Houve tendência crescente e aumento significante nas regiões de São João dos Patos, Pedreiras e Balsas. A região de Pinheiro apresentou maior agravamento de mortalidade para ocupantes de motocicletas e triciclos, em Caxias para os ocupantes de automóveis e caminhonetes e Pedreiras para pedestres. O Maranhão demanda de aprimoramento nas políticas públicas de redução da mortalidade por ATT, como a ampliação do Projeto Vida no Trânsito para todas as suas regiões de saúde.
A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA FISIOTERAPIA NA PRÁTICA DESPORTIVA POR IDOSOS
Authors: ALMEIDA JENNIFER ELLEN REIS , GOMES LETICIA DE OLIVEIRA
Published: January 2024

O envelhecimento tem como consequência alguns fatores que influenciam no declínio funcional do idoso, como a diminuição da massa e força muscular, redução do equilíbrio, alterações posturais e da marcha, além da diminuição dos reflexos adaptativos e distúrbios vestibulares, que influenciam a maiores riscos de quedas, fraturas, internação, dependência funcional e, em alguns casos, a morte. Fisioterapeutas e demais profissionais que atuam em atividades esportivas devem compreender os fatores causais de agravamento para que possam tomar medidas preventivas. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo consiste em analisar os tipos de modalidades esportivas praticadas pelos idosos e se com essa prática, há eficácia na manutenção do equilíbrio corporal desses indivíduos. Métodos: A metodologia utilizada no trabalho foi realizada a partir de um estudo por revisão bibliográfica, sistemática integrativa da literatura, abrangendo publicações das bases de dados LILACS, Pubmed, Google Acadêmico e SciELO. Resultados: Foram incluídos um total de 44 artigos diante do estudo, sendo 9 na fundamentação teórica, 5 artigos para comparar as diferentes modalidades esportivas praticadas pelos idosos e 6 artigos para corroborar com os estudos do quadro. Sendo excluídos 24 artigos, que não estavam correlacionados com o tema proposto. Ensaios clínicos, estudos de caso ou relatos de experiência disponibilizados na íntegra relacionados à intervenção fisioterapêutica e publicados nos idiomas português e inglês foram os critérios de inclusão. Conclusão: A partir da observação dos aspectos analisados, percebe-se que a inclusão dos idosos nas modalidades esportivas é restrita, no entanto, através da exploração dos artigos, foram obtidos resultados significativos no aumento da capacidade funcional desse público. Logo, é importante ressaltar que a fisioterapia desportiva se faz presente de acordo com a especificidade de cada modalidade, proporcionando aumento de força e massa muscular, equilíbrio, flexibilidade, mobilidade e capacidade cardiorrespiratória, porém, ainda se faz necessário novos estudos detalhados que remetam a inclusão dos profissionais de fisioterapia nas modalidades esportivas para idosos, já que, até o presente momento, há uma grande lacuna envolvendo esses objetos de estudos de forma específica.

Dermatophytes and ringworm infection
Authors: Al-Shimaa Saber Abd-elmegeed  , Heba Saad Abd-elrahman  , Asmaa Ahmed Mohamed  , Basma Mohamed Gaber
Published: January 2024

For both people and animals, superficial fungal infections affecting the keratinized layers of skin and its appendages are usually referred to as "ringworm." All layers of the skin can be penetrated by ringworm fungi, or dermatophytes, although they are usually limited to cornified areas of the skin “stratum corneum”. Dermatophytosis is the name for a medical condition caused by dermatophytes. Virtually, there is no human population free from these mycotic diseases and about 25% of the world population are infected by derrmatophytosis. Three genera, Microsporum, Epidermophyton, and Trichophyton (Fungi Imperfecti) in Hyphomycetes, the anamorphic class of the Deuteromycota, are the causative agents of dermatophytosis. Trichophyton rubrum appears to be the most common causative agent of ringworm infections, followed by Trichophyton interdigitale and Microsporum canis. It is critical to advance our understanding of fungal biology and pathology and to raise public awareness of the importance of these infections by providing accurate epidemiological data. Ecological groupings, pathogenic potential, clinical manifestation and therapy “chemical and natural” for dermatophytosis are reviewed.

Published: January 2024

This study evaluates and compares lichen diversity at two coastal sites at No. 63 Benab, Berbice, Guyana. The study was completed in three phases. Phase one included the collection of the lichen specimens from the sites; Phase two consisted of the identification of the lichen specimens obtained from field visits and Phase three included the analysis of the data done on R version 4.2.2 (R-Studio) and Microsoft Excel to determine which of the sites had the highest lichen diversity. Sampling plots of 2000 meter square (2000 m2) for each of the two agroecosystems was demarcated and at both locations, 50 m x 40 m study plots were established, and samples of healthy mature trees were identified from each plot to determine species richness, evenness, and diversity of the lichen communities. The trunks of 40 healthy individual trees were intercepted with twine in the North, South, East, and West quadrants (each measuring 50 by 100 cm). A total of fifty-two thousand three hundred eleven (52,311) lichens were identified belonging to fifteen (15) families, twenty-three (23) genera and thirty (30) species. This research based on the available literature has reported seventeen (17) new species of lichens from eleven (11) families as first-time record of species that were not previously identified for Guyana and so adds to the biodiversity of lichen flora in the country. First time records for Guyana included four (4) species of lichens from the family Parmeliaceae; one (1) species from the family Chrysotrichaceae; one (1) species from the family Teloschistaceae; two (2) species from the family Lecanoraceae; one species from the family Arthoniaceae; two (2) species from the family; one (1) species from the family Stereocaulaceae; two (2) species from the family Phlyctidaceae; one species from the family Collemataceae; one species from the family Cladoniaceae and one species from the family Lichinaceae. The lichen communities were compared using the Simpson's Diversity Index, Shannon Diversity Index, Menhinick's Index and Pielou's Index. Statistical analyses were executed with the help of the R and Excel software and it was possible to distinguish between the two sites' species distribution, diversity, and abundance. The results showed that site # 1 lichen community had a higher species richness, species evenness, species diversity and abundance than site # 2. Four (4) species of lichens showed specificity towards twelve (12) species of host trees.

Abstract. Among Christians from the Sundanese tribe, there are pros and cons towards the tradition of circumcision. There are those who carry out circumcision and there are those who don't. Each of these practices also has various reasons. Therefore, this research aimed to express how Sundanese Christians live their faith while living in a society with traditions that seem contrary to their faith. The method used in this research was the ethnographic method. The results showed that the acceptance or rejection of circumcision cannot be separated from family background and the beliefs held before becoming a Christian. Thus it can be concluded that faith will become dynamic when it encounters cultural realities in society.Abstrak. Di kalangan orang Kristen yang berasal dari suku Sunda terdapat sikap pro dan kontra terhadap tradisi sunat. Ada yang melaksanakan sunat dan ada yang tidak. Masing-masing sikap tersebut juga memiliki alasan yang beragam. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran bagaimana orang Kristen Sunda menghayati imannya di saat bersamaan hidup dalam masyarakat dengan tradisi yang terasa bertentangan dengan iman tersebut. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode etnografi. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa sikap menerima atau menolak sunat tidak dapat dilepaskan dari latar belakang keluarga dan kepercayaan yang dianut sebelum menjadi orang Kristen. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa iman akan menjadi dinamis ketika berjumpa dengan realitas budaya di tengah masyarakat.

Mario Bellatin: la no-experiencia de nuestros días
Authors: Waldegaray Marta
Published: January 2024

Así como la naturaleza humana, el desarrollo narrativo en la obra de Mario Bellatin se dispersa y muta.  Personajes contrahechos reaparecen una y otra vez en su universo ficcional. Su escritura recurre al desenfoque narrativo y perturba la estabilidad de la diégesis. Como las criaturas de sus ficciones, la diégesis se disipa, el funcionamiento textual se atrofia. La instancia narrativa es a menudo difusa, indeterminada, fluctuante. Los hechos, inciertos. A través de un estudio comparado de varios de sus textos, este artículo interroga el poder de la literatura cuando un presente neutro y desrealizado se ampara de la ficción; cuando la palabra se vacía de referencias. La producción de Bellatin da forma a un antropocentrismo (en tanto pensamiento que epistemológica y éticamente sitúa al ser humano como medida y centro de todas las cosas) y a una visión humanista del arte en crisis.
Versos, grietas, esperanza
Authors: García Linares José María
Published: January 2024

Toda literatura es política, puesto que se escribe siempre desde un lugar, desde un posicionamiento ideológico determinado. No existe literatura, en general, ni poesía, en particular, inocente o descomprometida puesto que nadie escribe desde el vacío. A partir de esta afirmación, se abordan las categorías de lo político y del compromiso, para abordar, a continuación, el papel que desempeña la corriente de la poesía de la conciencia crítica como aglutinadora de las diversas poéticas conflictocéntricas que se han ido desarrollando en España desde finales de la década de los ochenta hasta nuestros días y que se alzan hoy como poéticas disidentes o antagonistas con respecto al sistema hegemónico que nos domina. El poeta, por tanto, es responsable tanto de lo que dice como de lo que calla, de ahí la relevancia de saber lo que dice hoy la poesía española, pero también lo que silencia.
Cartografías de la crisis en Una herida llena de peces de Lorena Salazar
Authors: Navarrete Barría Sandra
Published: January 2024

El presente estudio propone una mirada geográfica hacia los imaginarios de la crisis en la literatura latinoamericana reciente, concentrándose en sus espacialidades. En estos imaginarios  advertimos  una clara intención referencial que apunta a evidenciar, denunciar y problematizar la crisis desde la violencia de los territorios. En este marco de interpretación, postulamos como hipótesis general que esta acentuación del trabajo espacial permite abordar los imaginarios de la crisis, no ya con miras hacia un futuro, desde representaciones postapocalípticas o distópicas, sino como algo coexistente al tiempo del lector. De esta forma, la focalización en el eje espacial posibilita la reflexión de la inmediatez y la coexistencia de la crisis, situando los distintos tipos de violencia de los territorios, como un punto válido para articular la crisis latinoamericana y caribeña. Para profundizar en esta hipótesis, acotaremos nuestro estudio a la novela Esta herida llena de peces de Lorena Salazar (2021).
Littérature et philosophie : Rancière et le partage du sens
Authors: De Gandt Marie
Published: January 2024

Si la politique consiste à rouvrir l’ordre des places assignées aux êtres et aux idées, alors philosopher avec la littérature, en défaisant le partage des domaines et des disciplines, est un acte politique. Pratiquant cette indistinction des domaines, Jacques Rancière semble toutefois négliger dans sa pratique de lecture ce qui engage une différence : il fait de l’œuvre philosophique le fragment d’une pensée univoque, dont la citation pourrait résumer le sens, mais il néglige la pluralité des identifications qu’appelle la littérature, qui pourrait compter parmi les moyens politiques que le philosophe lui attribue par ailleurs. Outre la subjectivation complexe et le travail narratif de la causalité, l’œuvre littéraire se caractérise par la désidentification, non seulement celle qu’elle offre aux personnages et aux lecteur·ice·s, mais aussi celle qui la caractérise elle-même. Ne doit-on pas alors tracer une distinction entre la « rigueur » philosophique évoquée dans Le Maitre ignorant, et la potentialisation d’une œuvre littéraire ouverte à des lectures infinies ? Que la littérature soit espace de déhiscence à vertu politique implique que sa lecture suspende non seulement les sens habituels, comme le désigne le « partage du sensible », mais aussi l’assignation définitive d’un sens, pour faire reconnaitre cette radicale altérité qui résiste à une identification, celle de l’œuvre comme sujet. C’est aussi en ce sens que l’œuvre littéraire est un modèle de singularité politique.

The Events of Frustration on Josephine in Chritie;s Crooked House Novel
Authors: Nisa Khairun , Maya Valiantien Nita , Ullah Nasrul
Published: January 2024

This study is aimed to find out the types of causes of frustration and defensive behaviours on Josephine’s character of Crooked House novel. There are two theories used to answer these questions such as frustrations and defensive behaviours by Krech et al. and characterization by Reaske. This study uses narrations and dialogues as the data which are taken from Crooked House novel by Agatha Christie. The results of this study find that Josephine experiences two types of causes of frustrations and conducts three types of defensive behaviours. The causes of frustrations are Josephine’s biological limitations as twelve years old girl and her social environment of living only in the Crooked House. In order to persist her existence after receiving the hard blows from her frustrations, Josephine conducts three forms of defensive behaviours which are aggression, autism, and identification. The conclusions show that Josephine’s desire to learn ballet plays the biggest role for her to experience frustrations events and due to this unfulfilled desire too that she performs the most extreme form of defensive behaviour of killing people in the Crooked House.
