Consumer Perception of Private Label Products in Hungary
Authors: Szucs Robert Sandor , Foldi Kata
Published: September 2024

Private labels have emerged as a significant force in the retail sector, particularly in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) market. Their importance has grown as consumers increasingly prioritise value for money, often choosing these products over manufacturer-branded items. As a result, private labels have become a competitive tool for retailers, driving down costs and fostering customer loyalty through consistent quality at lower prices. This study investigates Hungarian consumers' perceptions of private label products, focusing on quality comparison between private labels and manufacturer brands. A comprehensive online survey was conducted between April and June 2024, with over 10,000 respondents providing insights into their shopping habits and quality assessments of private label products. The primary findings reveal that more than half of the respondents (52.3%) believe that the quality of private label products is comparable to that of manufacturer-branded products, while 14.7% even consider it superior. Interestingly, 33% of the respondents perceive private label products as inferior in quality, although the differences are often seen as slight. These perceptions are influenced by both objective and subjective factors, including brand loyalty, price, and packaging. Demographic analysis using Cramer's V coefficient indicates that factors such as age, gender, income, and education have minimal impact on these quality perceptions. However, slight variations were noted, with men more likely to view private label products as lower in quality compared to women. Additionally, those with higher education tend to rate the quality of private label products more favorably. The study also explores consumer behavior in hypothetical purchasing scenarios, finding that 85.9% of respondents would prefer a private label product if it were identical in content and produced by the same manufacturer as a more expensive branded option. This suggests a strong potential for growth in the private label sector, particularly if retailers continue to emphasize the quality and value of these products. In conclusion, the research highlights the growing trust in private-label products among Hungarian consumers, driven by the perception that these products offer comparable quality at lower prices. Retailers are advised to leverage this trust by expanding their private label offerings, particularly in categories where consumer preference is already strong, and by continuing to market these products effectively to different demographic groups.

Authors: Rejosumarto Muji Astuti , Bulut Mehmet
Published: September 2024

Philanthropy is a form of altruism that comprises private initiatives that enhance the public good. Throughout history, benevolence or voluntary contributions have appeared in numerous shapes and objectives, representing the economic and political framework of the time and various motivations. Non-profit organizations (NPOs) in Indonesia have undergone tremendous transformations, evolving to be more modern and professional. They determine market segments, manage donor networks, formulate fundraising strategies, and construct appropriate, impactful, and beneficial programs with the organization's system and human capital. Aside from that, Islamic NPOs have become more strategic and able to preserve a clear vision and mission. They have also established organizational structures, appointed qualified leaders, and designed long-term, medium-term, and short-term activity plans and budgets. Moreover, they have appointed program supervisors and assessed the effectiveness and efficiency of their plans. This research aims to investigate the broad issues confronting Islamic charity in Indonesia as it evolves towards a strategic institution. This study adopted qualitative methodologies to discover comprehensive explanations for the occurrences studied. In-depth semi-structured interviews with an array of practitioners and academics were employed to gather data. This study found that a great deal of effort is required to improve the capabilities of Islamic NPOs in terms of good governance, system strengthening, cultural internalization, public openness, and accountability. Such aspects are important for establishing effective intermediary organizations that meet donor expectations. Therefore, Islamic NPOs must accelerate capacity building by enhancing each aspect of the organization to sustainably impact its beneficiaries positively.

Published: September 2024

Dijital pazarlama ile birlikte daha fazla kitleye ulaşabileceğini fark eden markalar bu yönde faaliyetlerini gerçekleştirmeye ağırlık vermiş ve aktif olabilecekleri çalışmalar sergilemeye başlamıştır. Bu açıdan markalar kitlelerle iletişim kurmanın değişik yollarını aramaktadırlar. Markalar, maliyetin en az olduğu ve en güvenli buldukları yolları tercih etmektedir. Dolayısıyla etkileyiciler sosyal mecralar üzerinde markaların pazarlama faaliyetlerini yürütebileceği etkili pazarlama araçlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Özellikle günümüzde metaverse teknolojisinin gelişimiyle yapay zekâ destekli “kurgusal’’ sanal etkileyiciler ön plana çıkmıştır. Gerçek aktörler gibi bilgiyi, deneyimleri ve içerikleri üreten sanal etkileyiciler, günümüzde tüketiciler için önemli kanaat önderlerine dönüşmüştür. Markalar ise çok sayıda takipçisi bulunan sanal etkileyicilerle hedef kitlesini etkilemeye çalışmaktadır. Sosyal medyada önemli bir kitleye hitap eden sanal etkileyiciler, dijital pazarlamada insan sonrası süreçte gerçek aktörler gibi içerikler üretmektedir. Bu çalışmada amaçlı örneklem yöntemi kullanılarak seçilen ve Türkiye’nin ilk sanal etkileyicisi olan “Alara X’in” öncelikle Instagram gönderilerinin içeriği kategorize edilmiştir. Ardından takipçileri tarafından nasıl algılandığı ve etkileşim düzeyleri gönderi yorumları üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada dijital etnografi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışma özellikle Türk “kurgusal’’ sanal etkileyiciler özelinde sınırlı sayıda çalışma olmasından dolayı alana katkı sağlayacağı için önem taşımaktadır. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre Alara X’in genellikle kişisel paylaşımlarına yer verdiği Instagram hesabında farklı markaların ürün gamları ile de paylaşımlara yer verdiği görülmektedir. Aynı zamanda Alara X ile takipçileri arasında zaman içerisinde Instagram hesabındaki paylaşımların da artması ile diyalojik iletişim kurulduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Authors: Ojeleye Yinka Calvin , Mustapha Hauwa Abdullahi , Oyede Saheed Adesunkanmi
Published: September 2024

The adoption of marketing innovations can contribute to the sustainability of a firm. However, research on the types of marketing innovations and their effects is limited. The study examined the dimensions of marketing innovations, their effects on performance of insurance firms, and how institutional support moderates those effects. The population of the study 504 management staff from 56 insurance companies, a sample size of 223 was determined using the Taro Yamane formula for finite population. Empirical data were collected and used to validate the model. Significant positive relationships are identified among each dimension of marketing innovation and performance. The findings are explained through the theoretical lens of resource-based view. Results show that both product and process innovation significantly contribute to the performance of insurance companies. Moreover, the relationship between process innovation and firm performance is significantly moderated by institutional support this is because with a favorable regulatory framework and activities aimed at encouraging innovation in the insurance business, institutional support is critical in easing the adoption and implementation of process changes. Whereas institutional support did not moderate the relationship between product innovation and firm performance. The study recommends that to maximize the significant positive effect of product innovation, Nigerian insurance firms should prioritize market research and client feedback. This study contributes to the literature because it elaborates the conceptualization of marketing innovation and presents the dynamics of institutional support and firm performance. It also provides practical implications on how insurance firms can utilize marketing innovations to achieve business sustainability.
Visual Representations of Abandoned Industrial Spaces in Tourist Photos
Authors: Sergeeva Olga , Nedoseka Elena
Published: September 2024

A few decades ago, an enthusiastic researcher would have found relatively few data to analyze, looking for such information about the ruins of modernity as the structural consequences caused by rapid cycles of industrialization and desolation, development and depopulation, conflict and reconciliation. However, conducting the same search today reveals an extraordinary increase in academic and public interest in the ruins of the recent past and the associated abandoned places. The authors of this article join in the discussion and explore the images of deindustrialization posted and distributed in the online communities among abandoned sites enthusiasts. The aim of the research is to form an idea of “everyday life policy” about the abandoned industrial facilities popularized by amateur photographers. “Everyday life policy” is expressed through the signifying and conceptualizing the abandoned and ruined places when putting them in a close-up. The authors rely on the ideas of the architect and historian I. de Sola-Morales, who calls the places left by people “terrain vague”. Photographic images of the terrain vague spaces play an important role in conceptualizing them. In order to understand what meanings exactly shaped the public policy, the authors use the ethnographic method of immersion in the online VKontakte/Telegram communities of abandoned sites enthusiasts to discover the recurring iconographic elements of the derelict places. Deindustrialization in photographs is reflected through 1) loss of human; 2) violence of vegetation or nature agency; 3) artifacts and texts of the past or material objects agency. The authors discuss the similarities of the images taken by amateur photographers and those media clichés found in popular movies and video games. Photographs are a way of explaining space and spatial experience. Furthermore, like any other work of art, a photo conveys not only and not so much the actual characteristics of the depicted objects, thanks to which we can form an idea about them (in this case, about space), but also effects and experiences. Thus, a photograph becomes a tool that helps us form value judgments about the places we have seen.
Prevention of extremism and terrorism in schools: experience of the republic of Dagestan
Authors: Adiev Aslanbek
Published: September 2024

The article presents the results of the study of preventive anti-terrorist educational work among students of general education schools of the Republic of Dagestan. It is noted that this work with school youth is carried out systematically and comprehensively with the participation of not only teachers, but also external subjects of preventive influence on adolescents from among representatives of law enforcement agencies, various ministries and departments authorised in the field of youth, information and state national policy, cultural and art figures, representatives of the official Muslim clergy, athletes, deputies, veterans of the Special Military Operation and other public opinion leaders. It was revealed that the main format of this work is a thematic preventive conversation with schoolchildren, that requires certain pedagogical skills and competencies. Using a formalised expert survey of school teachers and a series of research interviews, an assessment of the effectiveness of this activity was identified, as well as problems that hinder the improvement of the quality of anti-extremist educational work with Dagestani youth. Noting the importance and usefulness of this work, the interviewed teachers point to a number of problems and factors that reduce its effectiveness. The workload of teachers with "paperwork", frequent demands for various kinds of reports on the work done, formalism, holding events without taking into account the age and individual characteristics of students, incompetence, lack of understanding and support from the parent community, weak interest in such events from both teachers and schoolchildren and a number of other factors hinder the improvement of the quality of anti-terrorist educational work with Dagestani youth. It seems that the prevention of extremism and terrorism is part of the general educational impact of the comprehensive school institution on a child, raising him to be a moral, law-abiding and patriotic citizen. To improve the quality of this work, it is important to raise the authority of school teachers at the state level, since a teacher without authority is a bad educator for teenagers not only in the area of countering the spread of the ideology of extremism and terrorism, but also in the matter of spiritual, moral and patriotic education in general.

Published: September 2024

The article presents the results of a content analysis of regional media, that was conducted within the framework of a pilot study of the methodology developed by the authors for analysing the problems and prospects for the formation of an all-Russian identity in the North Caucasus. The purpose of the study was to determine the structure and content of representations of the ethno-political situation in the North Caucasus in the media space of the region. The relevance of ethno-political issues in the North Caucasus is due to the fact that this is a frontier region, which, due to its geographical location, ethnic, religious and cultural characteristics, is an arena of various internal and external challenges. Monitoring the ethno-political situation is an important area of ​​research, both in theoretical and practical terms. One of the technologies of such monitoring is the analysis of representations of the ethno-political situation in the political discourse of the region. The political discourse of regional media is a thematically focused, socially conditioned system of news, analytical, and prognostic materials in regional media that builds a political picture of the world. Representations are the content of information messages on media resources of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the North Caucasus. The documentary base of the study consisted of 1,656 information messages posted on leading information portals and in non-ethnic media outlets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the North Caucasus Federal District in April–June 2023. Five semantic categories of analysis were defined: 1) the practices used to strengthen the all-Russian identity; 2) politicisation of ethnicity; 3) the influence of foreign diasporas of the North Caucasian peoples; 4) threats and risks in the sphere of humanitarian security; 5) threats and risks in the sphere of socio-political security. The analysis of representations of the ethno-political situation in the political media discourse of the region allowed us to determine what kind of worldview is created and constructed by regional media: 1) prevails positive content about new practices of forming an all-Russian civic identity in the region, new traditions and rituals associated with the heroes of the North Caucasus Military District prevails; 2) potential risks of destabilisation of the socio-political situation in the North Caucasus are associated with the impact of the information war on the population, primarily young people; the growing threats of increased extremist and terrorist activity; problems of religious security in the region, which are presented in the media space in a very fragmentary manner.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of tool-based facial care on face size reduction in middle-aged women and to analyze the differences in effectiveness by tool form.Methods: The study was conducted with 14 middle-aged women in their 50s and 60s who volunteered to participate at a P aesthetic shop in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The participants were divided into three groups: Group A (11 participants) received treatment with a meridian-scraping-shaped tool, Group B (4 participants) received treatment with a plain tool, and Group C (3 participants) was untreated. Group A underwent treatment twice a week for a total of six sessions with the meridian-scraping-shaped tool. After a year, some participants from Group A were reassigned to Group B for further care with the plain tool. Face sizes were compared over time by measuring 14 variables, including length, width, and jawline length. Data were analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis and Friedman tests.Results: In Group A, there was a significant reduction in most facial areas, particularly in face width and jaw width (p<0.001). In contrast, Group B showed significant reductions in only some areas, while no changes were observed in the control group. This study found that the meridian-scraping-shaped tool was more effective in reducing facial contours than the plain tool.Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the meridian-scraping-shaped tool, which applies the leverage principle, was more effective in reducing facial contours in middle-aged women compared to the plain tool. The shape of the tool has a critical impact on treatment outcomes.

Marine debris has emerged as a significant environmental issue of growing global concern, closely linked to pollution and its impact on the environment. Understanding the distribution of marine waste in coastal areas is crucial, especially considering that beaches are key sites for various human activities such as tourism, fishing, and shipping. To address this, a study was conducted to analyze the composition of marine debris on three beaches in Banyuwangi Regency, East Java. The study took place in July and August of 2023, focusing on Boom, Cacalan, and Cemara beaches. Marine debris was collected along the coastline in 5 x 5 m transects, spaced 20 m apart, to identify and quantify the types of waste. The findings revealed that Boom Beach had the highest percentage of rubbish (46%), followed by Cemara Beach (30%) and Cacalan Beach (24%). Additionally, the highest abundance of rubbish per area was found at Boom Beach (5.97 ± 16.64 item/m2), Cemara Beach (3,92 ± 11,36 item/m2), and Cacalan Beach (3,12 ± 5,27 item/m2). Boom Beach and Cemara Beach were primarily dominated by plastic waste, while at Cacalan Beach, plastic waste and broken glass were found in nearly equal proportions. The calculation of the Clean Coast Index (CCI) indicated that all three beaches were significantly polluted. As a result, there is a clear need for focused attention on waste management at tourist beaches to preserve the aesthetics and comfort of beach visitors.

Epidemiology of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and alcohol-related liver disease (ALD)
Authors: Wong Robert J.
Published: September 2024

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) together represent the majority of individuals with steatotic liver disease (SLD). MASLD and ALD prevalence continues to rise globally, which is driven by several factors including an aging population, increasing prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors such as obesity and diabetes mellitus, and the increasing trends in high-risk unhealthy alcohol use which surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, MASLD, as well as ALD-related cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, is also on the rise, becoming major etiologies contributing to end-stage liver disease among adults awaiting liver transplantation. Accurately understanding MASLD and ALD epidemiology is critical to guide healthcare resource planning and health policy. Accurate estimates of MASLD and ALD epidemiology are particularly important to understand in the context of recent updates in nomenclature terminology. This review provides an updated assessment of existing literature describing the epidemiology of MASLD and ALD.
Research on hydrodynamics of the thermal agent flow for the beet pulp filtration drying

The reuse and recycling of secondary raw materials is essential to ensure sustainable development and the rational use of natural resources. One of the most important types of secondary raw materials is plant-based food waste, which is generated in large quantities at food processing plants, including sugar beet pulp, which is a valuable resource for further use.
One of the main problems with using beet pulp is its high moisture content, which is ≈ 80 % wt. It is proposed to dry beet pulp by filtration drying, which is highly efficient. The calculation of industrial equipment for filtration drying should take into account the costs of overcoming the hydraulic resistance of a stationary layer of material.
The aim of the article was to study the hydrodynamics of the flow of a thermal agent through a stationary layer of beet pulp of different heights and to perform computer modelling of this process. The obtained results will allow predicting the hydraulic resistance of a material layer of different heights and the required pressure drop to ensure the course of the drying process under various possible technological modes.
For computer modelling of the flow of a thermal agent through a stationary layer of beet pulp, the porous media method was used in the ANSYS Fluent 2022 R2 software package. The process was simulated on the basis of the Navier-Stokes system of differential equations and the flow continuity equation with the additional use of the Darcy equation to determine the value of the hydraulic resistance of the layer ΔP.
Computer simulations of the hydrodynamics of the thermal agent flow through a stationary layer of beet pulp were performed for the range of stationary layer heights H = 90÷110 mm with an interval of 5 mm. The obtained data showed a relative average deviation of 2.19 % from the experimental data, which indicates a high accuracy of calculations in this range.
The study for the extended range of layer heights H = 80÷120 mm with an interval of 10 mm showed an increase in the relative average deviation to 4.09 % from the experimental data, but the results are still sufficiently accurate for practical use in the calculation of drying equipment.
The obtained dependencies may be used to determine the value of the hydraulic resistance of a stationary layer of material using the filtration drying method and for practical calculations of drying equipment. Together with the results of the kinetic regularities of filtration drying, the obtained experimental data and computer modelling data on the hydrodynamics of the flow of a heat transfer agent through a material layer will allow us to calculate the optimal parameters of filtration drying for beet pulp and to assess the efficiency of filtration drying for drying beet pulp in comparison with other methods of dehydration.

In grape and wine production, one of the main relevant and recurrent diseases is downy mildew caused by the fungus (Plamospara viticola). It is frequently present in wine production worldwide, with a significant high annual incidence in some regions. Since the discovery of Bordeaux mixture (copper sulphate and lime) in the 1880’s, many formulations based on copper (Cu) have been developed and used in viticulture production. https://coppereplace.com/.

Dengan mengkombinasikan temuan klinis, radiologi dan patologi diharapkan lesi dapat ditegakan dengan lebih akurat. Oleh karena itu tinjauan pustaka ini bertujuan untuk membahas pendekatan diagnosis PCL dengan menggabungkan sudut pandang multidisiplin.
Quasispecies Theory and Emerging Viruses: Challenges and Applications
Authors: Sardanyes Josep , Perales Celia , Domingo Esteban , Elena Santiago
Published: September 2024

The dawn of quasispecies theory revolutionized our understanding of viral evolution and pathogenesis. This theory conceptualises viruses as dynamic populations of closely related but genetically diverse variants that constantly mutate and adapt to environmental pressures. Quasispecies dynamics govern key aspects of virus-host interactions, such as adaptive evolution, immune evasion, drug resistance, and host tropism. In this article, we discuss the fundamental role of quasispecies theory in elucidating viral fitness landscapes, shaping antiviral strategies, and predicting viral emergence and evolution. We provide a concise overview of the original quasispecies model and its latest advancements, which enable the study of the connection between viral dynamics and the significant genetic diversity exhibited by viruses. We then point out some key features of virus dynamics that need to be incorporated into quasispecies theory. We continue with examples of convergence between theory and real viruses by discussing theoretical results supported by RNA virus data and vice versa. Next, we discuss the need to extend the concept of sequence space beyond the classical hypercube towards more complex, multidimensional connected sequence spaces that we have called ultracubes. Finally, we highlight the necessity of developing multi-scale models to understand how viral evolutionary dynamics within a host can affect epidemiological patterns. We also examine the limitations of quasispecies theory in predicting virus evolution and emergence.

1) Background: Impeded resolution of inflammation contributes substantially to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD); consequently, resolving inflammation is pivotal to the amelioration of AD pathology. This can potentially be achieved by the treatment with specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs), which should resolve neuroinflammation in brains. 2) Methods: Here, we report the effects of long-term treatment with a SPM, maresin like 1 (MarL1), on AD pathogenesis in a transgenic 5xFAD mouse model. 3) Results: MarL1 treatment reduced Aβ overload, curbed the loss of neurons in brains especially cholinergic neurons associated with cleaved-caspase-3-associated apoptotic degeneration, reduced microgliosis and the pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia, curbed the AD-associated decline in anti-inflammatory Iba1+Arg-1+-M2 microglia, inhibited phenotypic switching to pro-inflammatory N1 neutrophils, promoted the blood–brain-barrier-associated tight-junction protein claudin-5 and decreased neutrophil leakage in 5xFAD brains, and induced the switch of neutrophils toward the inflammation-resolving N2 phenotype. 4) Conclusion: Long-term administration of MarL1 mitigates AD-related neuropathogenesis in brains by curbing neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. These findings provided the preclinical leads and mechanistic insights for the development of MarL1 into an effective modality to ameliorate AD pathogenesis.
