Published: March 2023

The worldwide banking industry is currently undergoing a digital transformation. The innovative behavior of bank employees is a significant aspect of commercial banks’ future survival and development. One of the most significant resources for cultivating good employee behavior is leadership. As a response, this study examined how authentic leadership affects employees’ innovative behavior. The mediating role of cognitive crafting and hope between authentic leadership and innovative employee behavior was also investigated. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 610 Thai bank employees. The structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis findings revealed an association between authentic leadership and innovative employee behavior. According to the mediation analysis results, hope and cognitive crafting appeared to mediate the relationship between authentic leadership and innovative employee behavior. These findings may help develop leadership research in the field of innovation management. Thus, organizations should identify, cultivate, and support authentic leaders who can inspire innovative behavior among employees through cognitive crafting and hope.

Authors: Akpamah Peter , Matko Andrea
Published: March 2023

Unemployment is a growing concern for today’s economies. Governments gear various policies to increase business productivity and expansion to create new job places. However, little research was conducted on how informal sector leadership contributes to resolving this crisis worldwide. This study seeks to identify the SME leadership styles that foster business development and job creation in Ghana. The study targets the leadership styles of artisans and manufacturers of local goods. Mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) where both questionnaire and interview were used to gather information from a total of one hundred and twenty respondents; sixty proprietors were artisans and the remaining were managers of local factories. The paper adopts SPSS and the Pearson correlation in the data analysis. The study determined emotional intelligence and ethical leadership regarded as emerging leadership styles the best for informal sector growth. However, bureaucratic leadership, autocratic and laissez-faire leadership referred to as traditional leadership styles had no positive influence on growth indicators within the informal economy. The results also reveal that most SMEs fold up before the fifth year of their establishment, deepening the unemployment situation in the research communities. The paper further confirms the inadequate resources of most SME leaders to take up leadership training. Therefore, the study recommends that government should periodically organize and finance workshops and seminars to facilitate SMEs access to leadership training and development in Ghana.

Published: March 2023

Social media become the primary marketing to enhance repurchase intention in e-commerce. However, not many companies in Indonesia use it to increase sales and gain profits. In addition, some literature reveals that the effect of social media marketing is not significant on repurchase intention. Several studies have shown that the dimensions of social media marketing have no significant effect on consumer behaviour. This study aimed to investigate the influence of social media marketing on repurchase intention through consumer brand engagement. The data were collected from 100 consumers of online Muslim fashion products in Central Java. Data were analysed using the model partial least square structural equation (PLS-SEM) with two steps namely confirmatory and structural analysis. The result indicated that social media marketing had a positive relationship with repurchase intention. Moreover, consumer brand engagement can be mediating the relationship between social media marketing and the repurchase intention of Muslim fashion products in Indonesia. The theoretical implication of this study is to provide an overview of the factors that shape consumer repurchase intention based on Stimulus-Organism-Response theory. The practical implication is that business practitioners should pay more attention to marketing through social media than conventional marketing.

Authors: Bukina I. S.
Published: March 2023

The results of the execution of the federal budget in 2022 showed that the restrictions imposed had a significant impact on the dynamics and structure of revenues, the volume of unplanned spending, and the federal budget deficit. In this regard, a detailed analysis of the existing mechanisms and instruments of fiscal policy is needed to develop solutions that will help maintain the sustainability of the federal budget and mitigate the consequences of sanctions and retaliatory measures for the Russian economy. The paper presents an econometric model of the relationship between the stability coefficient of federal budget revenues to GDP fluctuations and the onset of crises and subsequent recessions. The estimation shows that there is a statistically significant relationship between the onset of the crisis and a deeper drop in the growth rate of federal budget revenues in comparison with periods of stability or growth. There are considered innovations in the fiscal sphere aimed at increasing federal budget revenues. The author concludes that there are risks and consequences of the proposed changes. The directions for the development of some tax instruments in the context of maintaining the stability of the federal budget and stabilizing the economic dynamics in the country are proposed.

Authors: Leksin I. V.
Published: March 2023

The article is devoted to the current distribution of jurisdiction between the orders of government in the Russian Federation. The author compares the actual system of this distribution with the constitutional and legislative provisions and reveals significant discrepancies between the practice and normative settings. The greatest concerns are caused by the constitutional lists of powers within federal jurisdiction and within joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and its constituent entities, and by the “residual” competence that have not undergone conceptual changes for almost thirty years. The article analyzes the technical changes made in recent years to these constitutional lists, as well as other innovations in the distribution of jurisdiction between the orders of government that are related to the constitutional reform of 2020 and other recent transformations. Following his findings, the author makes some proposals to update the regulatory framework for the distribution of jurisdiction between the orders of government.

As instituições humanas básicas detestam as motivações puras. Assim como o sustento do indivíduo e da família não costuma depender da motivação da fome, a instituição da família não se baseia na motivação sexual. (...) O sexo em si jamais produzirá nada melhor que um bordel. (...) Um sistema econômico que realmente dependesse da fome como sua mola mestra seria quase tão perverso quanto um sistema familiar baseado no mero desejo sexual” (KP, 1947, p. 221)
ASPECTOS LEGAIS PARA FUNCIONAMENTO DE EMPRESAS REMOTAS “STARTUPS”
Authors: Alvarenga Samia , Fernandes Leidiane
Published: March 2023

O presente trabalho busca explorar o processo e as ações necessárias para a abertura e o gerenciamento de empresas disruptivas, com viés tecnológico: startups. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório e qualitativo, utilizando como técnica de coleta de dados entrevistas estruturadas com empreendedores de startups, à nível nacional. Os resultados apontam que os “startupeiros”, linguagem comumente utilizada nessa área desperdiçam  bastante energia na fase de regularização do negócio, e que isso poderia ser facilitado, mais que isso, modernizado. Ademais, verificou-se que as startups entrevistadas, com todo seu viés inovador e de diferenciação em relação às empresas tradicionais, apesar de buscarem metodologias de gestões ágeis e focadas à sua natureza, ainda se submetem às regras burocráticas estatais e esquema de gestão tradicionais. Não fosse suficiente, notou-se, ainda, que startups se deparam com problemas do tipo dificuldade de validação do modelo, por travas regulatórias, manutenção da legalidade da empresa, na captação de recursos financeiros, aquisição de espaços físicos e toda a burocracia dos órgãos públicos na fase inicial de suas atividades.

O objetivo desse estudo foi identificar as principais dificuldades na implantação deste empreendimento, bem como as boas práticas aplicadas no PTin, visando propor sugestões de ações para a consolidação do parque. A metodologia utilizada foi qualitativa, caracterizando-se como documental e descritiva. Para identificar os procedimentos adotados foram realizadas entrevistas, aplicação questionário estruturado, além da participação observante em reuniões com instituições parceiras e diretoria do PTin. Os resultados apontam que uma das principais dificuldades enfrentadas foi uma manifestação política muito forte, o que resultou no delongamento da instalação de sua infraestrutura básica. Ainda, pode-se destacar a carência da participação da sociedade no seu processo prospectivo e a falta de incentivo ao investimento privado. Dessa forma, sugere-se o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas e diretrizes estratégicas para definições e implantação de Boas Práticas do PTin, realização de mecanismos de incentivo ao investimento privado, estruturação de uma equipe de trabalho engajada e comprometida, além de desenvolver programas e ações que atendam suas metas. Diante disso, espera-se que esta pesquisa contribua para o processo de implantação e consolidação do primeiro Parque Tecnológico Internacional na região de fronteira de Mato Grosso do Sul.
Meropenem for the Pharmacological Treatment of Severe Infections in Critically Ill
Pediatric Patients: Breakthrough Standard Treatment Strategies Based on PK/PD
Authors: He Xin , Liu Xiaoyan , Gong Xiaodan , Wang Li , Chen Feng
Published: March 2023

Meropenem, as a carbapenem antibiotic, is commonly used in critically ill pediatric patients with severe
infection because of its broad antimicrobial spectrum, high penetration into tissues, and favorable safety profile. Due
to pathophysiological changes in critically ill children, the available evidence has demonstrated that the standard
dosage regimens of meropenem could not meet an appropriate pharmacodynamic (PD) target attainment in severely
infected children. Therefore, we reviewed the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of meropenem in critically ill children,
therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), and dose optimization based on PK/PD. Meropenem kills bacteria in a timedependent
manner and its efficacy is positively correlated with the percentage of the time of dosing interval during
which the free serum concentration of meropenem remains above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the
pathogen (%fT>MIC), which is related to PK/PD targets. For critically ill children, TDM-based dosage optimization
and setting even higher PK/PD targets seem necessary to be considered. The currently available studies have
revealed that increasing the dose and the application of the extended or continuous infusion of meropenem were able
to achieve better PK/PD targets. According to limited clinical data on efficacy and safety, these treatment measures
cannot yet be adopted as routine regimens only when serious infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria or strains
with high values of MIC are suspected. Further high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or observational
studies with sufficient sample sizes are required to confirm the efficacy and safety of these modes of administration.

Published: March 2023

Background:

With age, there is a tendency for the health of law enforcement officers to
deteriorate. This especially applies to instructor officers, whose professional activity is characterized
by a significant decrease in the volume of motor activity, overloading of the intellectual
sphere, and high neuro-emotional stress.

Objective:

The aim of the research is to investigate the influence of recreational and healthpromoting
training sessions with physical exercise on the health, physical development, and functional
status of instructor officers of older age groups.

Methods:

62 instructor officers (aged 40-45) of various academic disciplines took part in the research.
The instructors of the experimental group (EG, n = 30) were engaged in physical exercises
in accordance with the authors’ program of recreational and health-promoting training sessions; the
instructors of the control group (CG, n = 32) attended the training sessions according to the existing
physical training program.

Results:

It was found that at the end of the experiment, the studied indicators of the EG instructor
officers were significantly better than those of the CG ones, according to the indicators of body
weight, Quetelet index, the vital capacity of lungs, vital index, strength index, heart rate, arterial
blood pressure, Robinson index, and level of physical health.

Conclusion:

It was established that systematic recreational and health-promoting training sessions
have a positive effect on the health level of the instructor officers of older age groups. This will allow
them to carry out instructional activities at a high professional level and ensure resistance to
adverse factors of professional activities.
Preclinical Evidence-based Neuroprotective Potential of Silibinin
Authors: Singh Niraj Kumar , Bhushan Bharat
Published: March 2023

Neurodegeneration is an elucidating feature of many neuronal disorders including Alzheimer’s,
disease, Parkinson’s disease, and cerebral ischemia. These neurodegenerative disorders
are a major public health concern with high mortality and morbidity rates around the world. Presently,
researchers have concentrated their efforts on determining the neuroprotective activity of
natural products for the management of neurological manifestation associated with neurodegeneration
or aging. Silibinin, an active component of the plant Silybum marianum (family: Asteraceae)
was used for the treatment of liver diseases from ancient times. Recently several preclinical studies
provide supportive evidence for the neuroprotective activity of silibinin in experimental animals.
Besides its antioxidant effect, silibinin exhibits neuroprotective activities by altering several
cellular and molecular signaling pathways like BDNF, ER/PI3/Akt, NfκB, JNK, IR & IGF-IR,
mTOR, and many more against brain-related neurotoxicity. This review provided a comprehensive
summary of the chemistry, pharmacokinetics, side effects, and pharmacological effects of
silibinin against various neurodegenerative disorders with a prominent cellular and molecular
mechanism. The literature reviews and preclinical studies demonstrated that silibinin could be an
alternate candidate for the management of neurodegenerative disorders. Thus, there is a scope for
further preclinical and clinical research to introduce this phytoconstituent as a therapeutic alternative
candidate.
Influence of Caregiver’s Sign Quality on Successful Interaction with a Deafblind Child
Authors: Knecht Jamie
Published: March 2023

This study aimed to analyse the quality of the signs offered by one of the communication partners of an individual with CDB and the effect of this quality on their interaction success. The research questions of the study were: ‘What is the quality of the sign input offered by the selected caregiver during communication with this client with CDB?’ and ‘How does this sign quality affect their interaction success? These questions were answered after analysing four  videos of the communication between a client with CDB and her caregiver in ELAN with a newly developed codebook. The codebook was developed to assess phonological and semantic errors, discrepancies between spoken and signed utterances, and the success of the interaction between de communication partners. It was found that even though the caregiver made some phonological and semantical errors and even though there were some discrepancies in her communication, this did not strongly affect the interaction success. It was also found that the discrepancies had a more negative influence on the interaction success than the phonological and semantic errors.

Authors: Shakele Hellen , Muzata Kenneth Kapalu , Nafstad Anne , Souriau Jacques
Published: March 2023

Introduction: In this case study, performed in a home situation in Zambia, it was assumed that the child with congenital deafblindness had too poor vision to access sign language without support by the bodily tactile modality. The aim was to explore if a theoretically based intervention on Communicative Relations with a role model who demonstrates communication in the bodily tactile modality and builds on knowledge and competence in sign language can improve bodily tactile aspects of communication between the child and her mother and brother. Method: This study has a qualitative single case study design, which enabled a close analysis of the communication between the child and her mother and brother, by a reflective team. Four members of the reflective team provided insight into the videorecorded episodes in home situations such as bathing and play. Data analysis took place before and after the intervention. The intervention was performed by the researcher as a role model, who is a mother herself, and well trained in the Diamond Model and Dialogical Model underlying the theory of Communicative Relations ( Nafstad & Rodbroe, 2015). Results: The results demonstrated that the intervention with the application of aspects of the Diamond Model was effective in face-to-face interaction, gestures and social interaction, and the application of aspects of the Dialogical Model enhanced the ability to reciprocate signs during the interaction. The findings in this study clarify how use of sign language and hand positions can benefit persons with CDB to improve their communication. The study has shown how competent mother and brother were communicating with the child after intervention using ZSL, reciprocation and imitation and hand positions. The utterances that were addressed by the child to the partners in gestural expressions were answered by the partners. Lastly, it has shown the need to focus on whole-body communication, understanding, and relating to communicative expressions. Conclusion and discussion: It can be concluded that the intervention had indeed a positive effect on a variety of bodily tactile communication aspects between the child and her family communication partners. The role model approach that was used in this study enabled mother and brother and child to learn through reciprocation of roles and imitation. It is a natural form of learning which does not necessarily require shared reference to theoretical concepts. In addition, the study showed that only sign language is not enough. There must be a connectedness between signing and adapted interaction patterns.

Published: March 2023

Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 report revealed that in mathematics the ability of Indonesian students to solve mathematical problems is still very low. The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) strengthened the PISA report by mentioning that in general, Indonesian students' ability in solving fraction problems is low. In this study, We tried to improve students' ability in solving fractions by using computational thinking assisted by an authentic learning approach. A system was utilized to help the students in learning fractions. Totally twenty-two fifth-grade students were assigned in this study. While they learned fractions using the system, they needed to capture an object around them to make a representation of the fraction problem. Moreover, by using the system, they also need to find the best and fastest way to solve a fraction problem. The result showed that their learning achievements improved especially in fraction representation, fraction operation, linguistics, and creativity. And multiple regression results showed that students’ activity can predict the students’ learning achievement. The more active the learn fraction using the system, the higher score they get. In the final, the result of this study contributes essential implications along with a conclusion and suggestion for future research.

Waste management is a common problem in urban or rural areas, along with the increase in population and people's lifestyles. Waste problems that are not handled properly can cause environmental problems (pollution of air, soil, and water) and public health. Based on the origin, waste is divided into organic and inorganic waste; organic waste is produced from biological materials that can be degraded by microbes or are biodegradable, or waste from fruit, vegetable, and leaf residues. This organic waste is the majority of the waste generated from households, so it is necessary to think about how to process it that is beneficial and efficient. One of these organic waste processing is processed into Eco enzymes, namely processing organic waste with molasses and water in a ratio of !:3:10. The organic waste processing process is first chopped to become a small part to facilitate the fermentation process. The automation of this chopping machine uses Arduino as a microcontroller, a load cell as a measure of the weight of organic waste, an electric motor as a driving force, a solenoid door lock as a lock for the organic waste load before grinding, and a knife as an organic waste count. The purpose of making this tool is to help chop organic waste in the process of processing eco enzymes. The research results on the automation of this organic waste chopper machine loadcell with a load of 1 Kg runs well; the solenoid door lock can hold organic waste to work well. The research results on the motor for upper milling are given a large torque equipped with a downward knife position and a pillow block so that the motor does not shake.

Technological sophistication that continues to develop contributes and is also integrated in education and learning. Conventional education and learning are shifting towards digital technology-based learning. Digital-based learning must undoubtedly be accompanied by skills and mastery of digital technology. Thus, this paper aims to describe and represent the sense-making elementary school students need regarding digital literacy to realize education in the future era. The method in this writing was a literature review by reviewing the relevant literature with the topic of discussion. The results revealed that the sense-making of education actors is the basic capital in digital-based learning. Therefore, the position of digital technology and digital literacy in education is central to realizing the success of education in the future era. Finally, the recommendations in this paper include (1) the need for regular training or programs related to sense-making of digital literacy so that education in the future era can be carried out optimally, effectively, and efficiently, and (2) further study and analysis are required in mapping the education system related to educational needs as a result of the impact of COVID-19 and education in the industrial revolution 4.0 era in the future.

The valence states of Fe atoms and the formation of oxygen vacancies in substituted La0.67Sr0.33FeO3−γ orthoferrite have been studied in detail by low-temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy under oxygen removal. It has been shown that the averaged valence state of Fe atoms is not revealed with a decreasing measurement temperature. This makes it possible to reveal Fe4+ ions. The Analysis of the obtained data allows us to conclude that the presence of several Zeeman sextets associated with Fe3+ ions is related to the appearance of oxygen vacancies and Fe4+ ions in the nearest ionic surrounding of Fe ions. Using the Mössbauer data, the number of oxygen vacancies and oxygen ions has been determined for all the studied samples depending on the vacuum annealing temperature.
