Published: July 2021

Digital addiction has been called digital dependency and digital compulsivity. By any name, it is a compulsive behaviour that completely dominates the addict’s life. Digital addicts make the digital technology a priority more important than family, friends, and work. The digital technology becomes the organizing principle of addicts’ lives. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between Digital Addiction (DA) and academic performance among college students in public and private university. This study also identified the differences in digital addiction in terms of gender. The statistical techniques frequency and percentage are used to identify the patterns of using the Internet; t-test and one-way ANOVA is used to examine the differences in DA in terms of demographic factors. Pearson correlation technique will also be used to determine the relationship between DA and academic performance. This study helps to determine the level of digital addiction among college student and how its impacts their academic performance.

Authors: Ibrahim Siti Zalipah 
Published: July 2021

Procurement is one of the particular activities in business that demands high attention. In the service industry, the procurement department plays a major role in ensuring that the supply of raw materials and goods is planned, purchased, distributed, and consumed efficiently. An influx of activities such as requisition, acquisition, and quality checks are done in this department. In estimating the total cost of acquiring goods and services, it is important for organizations to identify unit costs and other costs associated with operations and maintenance that occur during purchasing and conserving of goods. Recent studies have reported the usage of an Electronic Procurement System (EPS) that replaces the conventional procurement system typically used in the service industry. This paper aims to explore the current practice, effectiveness and efficiency of the procurement systems used in the Malaysian service industry through a systematic review of literature. Findings of this study will assist service businesses to analyze their procurement activities and develop proper strategies that can reduce costs, increase efficiency, and most importantly, improve their bottom line.

Faculty of Business and Management has developed Student Industrial Training Information System (FBM-STIS) to facilitate the faculty pertaining to student internship placement in line with Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) emerged worldwide. Internship is a must for most undergraduate programs and it is carried out in the final semester. Owing to the complexity of the process, FBM-STIS is hoped to provide ease and accurate information to the students and FBM administrative staff. FBM-STIS also enhances efficiency through the reduction of time for students to receive the Confirmation Letter (CL), and support Green Nation program through its paperless initiatives and reduction of carbon emission since students’ physical presence is not needed at the faculty. Above all, it assists UiTM in its strategy to ‘Jana and Jimat’ in that, FBM-STIS is able to reduce operational cost. With the latest technologies, the study hopes the system match with the preferences of Generation Z who are more IT literate that favor simple and prompt process and feedback.

Authors: Jabłoński Damian 
Published: July 2021

Abstract

Introduction
The ongoing process of aging in the Polish society generates the necessity to take interest in the problems and needs of the elderly population. Age-appropriate fitness is an important factor contributing to an optimal level of seniors’ life quality and maintaining their independence in everyday life. The aim of this research was to evaluate the level of physical fitness of elderly women from Biała Podlaska with respect to their age and body build.

Material and Methods
The research included 38 women attending activities in culture centers in Biała Podlaska. Measurements of basic somatic parameters were used to evaluate their body build on the basis of BMI. The Fullerton Test was applied to determine the level of physical fitness.

Results
In all trials of the Fullerton tests, most of the seniors achieved normal or above normal results. Statistically significant correlations were found between BMI and the test results in most trials. Correlations between age and test results were observed only in the endurance test.

Conclusions
The female respondents present a high level of physical fitness in relation to American standards. Due to the high percentage of respondents with excessive body weight, there is a need to develop relevant physical activity programs for this age group of women.
Assessing Financial Resource Capability on Insurance Claims Management in Nigeria: The Moderating Role of Information Technology
Authors: Ehiorobo Osa Abraham 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
This study examines the extent to which financial resource capability impacts claims management in the Nigerian insurance industry and also attempts to determine if this process is moderated by information technology. Given the numerous litigations arising from claims default, the Nigerian insurance sector has earned itself a bad reputation with the consequent customer apathy. However, it is also noteworthy that most of these insurance companies do not appear to possess the financial capacity to meet claims obligations as they arise, perhaps, due to low capitalisation, poor risk assessment and solvency constraints. The research is a quantitative design that utilises the survey strategy. It is predicated on a philosophical foundation of positivism and ontological orientation of objectivism. 17 insurance companies were included in the study using the stratified sampling technique. 280 questionnaires were distributed to the 17 sampled companies out of which 235 were returned and found usable for the study. Data was analysed using the Andy Hayes Process v3.3 for regression. Findings from the study revealed that financial resources and information technology have statistically significant relationship with claims management but the relationship between financial resources and claims management is not significantly moderated by information technology.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
The Slovak spirits industry has a stable position within the alcoholic beverages industry in the Slovak Republic. However, its production process causes significant environmental stress on nature. The industry can use roughly only 10% of the raw materials. This means a significant amount of waste is produced during the distillation process. We investigated the biogas production potential within the Slovak distilleries producing spirits for final consumption when we compared the production of spirits between the years 2010 and 2019. Biogas production potential is calculated as an ideal situation when all spent wash from spirits producing distilleries is used for biogas production. The potential energy gain is also calculated in kWh based on the already available research in the field of biogas production. We conducted that the total biogas potential of the Slovak spirits industry could reach 15,886,053 kWh in terms of electricity and 22,946,177 kWh in terms of heat energy if we calculate energy potential according to the spirits production in the year 2019. The total combined energy potential generated during the reuse of waste from distilleries could reach 38,832,230 kWh. The biogas production in these facilities has also a positive side effect. If distilleries use the heat energy for the distillation process, the amount of greenhouse emissions will also be declining.

The objective of this study is inspired from the immeasurable difference of COVID-19 incidence data between African & Indian population at peak prevalence month of its pandemic. Raw data analysis of Africa and India was schemed when COVID-19 situation as in peak on pandemic all over the world. The detected data distributions of inter-countries and other countries of Africa were comparatively studied on statistical basis of Correlation coefficient. The evaluation of p-values, ANOVA study with graphical representation on the comparative basis was carried out and interpreted. The screening of the large variation of data distribution has made uniform to get proper variation. The different mean± SD values are 67.142 ±69.91, 76.642± 66.747 & 77.21 ± 67.0215 and CV of these African countries shows 1.080, 0.90377 & 0.90076 respectively. Thus, ANOVA study showed no significance value, p < .05, where P-value is 0.913928 because of least variations. On the other hand, the % distribution of COVID-19 pandemic represents the wide difference of inter-continental difference of Africa from India, specifically of pie-chart. However, due to vast difference in COVID-19 intercontinental cases on restricted travellers interconnectivity tends to focus our attention to examine dietary roles in COVID-19.
The types of fertility patterns in Europe
Authors: Majdzińska Anna 
Published: July 2021

The aim of this paper is to present the types of fertility patterns that characterise European countries and their NUTS-1 units in the early 21st c. and in the near future. The types of fertility patterns were defined by ordering six five-year age groups of women aged from 15 to 44 years, according to the groups’ fertility rates (from the highest to the lowest). The analysis resulted in the creation of 14 different types of fertility patterns. Countries located in the same European region tend to have the same or similar type of fertility pattern. In most European countries, the postponement transition can be observed, and it will probably continue in the future.
Differences between the fertility rates of the age groups were assessed within countries and between countries with the same type of fertility pattern by calculating the so-called fertility rate ratios. The paper also provides an overview of the main theories and concepts explaining the course of family formation processes in Europe and indicates factors that shape fertility patterns in European countries today.
On real algebraic numbers in which the derivative of their minimal polynomial is small
Authors: Koleda D. V. 
Published: July 2021

Algebraic numbers are the roots of integer polynomials. Each algebraic number α is characterized by its minimal polynomial Pα that is a polynomial of minimal positive degree with integer coprime coefficients, α being its root. The degree of α is the degree of this polynomial, and the height of α is the maximum of the absolute values of the coefficients of this polynomial. In this paper we consider the distribution of algebraic numbers α whose degree is fixed and height bounded by a growing parameter Q, and the minimal polynomial Pα is such that the absolute value of its derivative P'α (α) is bounded by a given parameter X. We show that if this bounding parameter X is from a certain range, then as Q → +∞ these algebraic numbers are distributed uniformly in the segment [-1+√2/3.1-√2/3]

Definition of Globalization in the Context of European Integration
Authors: Szabó Barna 
Published: July 2021

Globalization is perhaps the most frequently used yet least defined terms of our era. Theodore Levitt was the first to scientifically analyse the phenomenon in his study published in 1983; however, no one came up with a definition accepted by everyone to date. In addition to the introduction of scientific definitions, evolvement and the main branches of globalization, in this paper I attempt to present my own, scientific definition of the term that may serve as a useful working definition in the analysis of European integration.
How Does Monetary Policy Affect Income Inequality? Evidence from Europe
Authors: Czeczeli Vivien 
Published: July 2021

The issue of inequalities has become increasingly important in recent decades. Although distributional effects, such as inequalities, are commonly associated with globalisation and fiscal policy processes, many of the side effects of the exceptionally loose monetary policy of the last decade also affect the issue. After identifying the mechanisms and channels linking the field of monetary policy and inequality, the research focuses on empirical analyses. The research is based on a panel ARDL test focusing on the 19 Euro area countries and Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland, where negative nominal interest rates have been applied. The research includes the period of 2008–2018. The aim of the paper is to assess how certain monetary policy indicators affect inequality. The main conclusion is consistent with the existing literature: the effect of monetary policy to inequalities is modest, however not negligible. The effect of inflation seems to be weak; however, the rise in unemployment rate and long term interest rates negatively affect inequalities. The positive effects of the rising GDP per capita are also proven by the analysis.

Published: July 2021

This research is monitoring equatorial geomagnetic current which causes atmospheric instabilities and affects high frequency and satellite communication. It presents the variations of Horizontal (H) and vertical (Z) component of the geomagnetic field at some Equatorial Electrojet (EEJ) Stations during quiet days. Data from five (5) observatories along the magnetic equator were used for the study. Daily baseline values for each of the geomagnetic element 𝐻 and Z were obtained. The monthly average of the diurnal variation and the seasonal variations were found. Results showed that the variations of the geomagnetic element of both H and Z differ in magnitudes from one stations to another along the geomagnetic Equator due to the differences of their geomagnetic latitude. The Amplitude curves for Z) are seen to be conspicuously opposite to that of H), and there is absence of CEJ in Z- Component but present in H- Components. The values during the pre-sunrise hours are low compare to daytime hours. Minimum variations of dH was observed during June solstice and maximum variations was observed during Equinox season. This study shows that daily variations of (H) and (Z) occur in all the stations. The enhancement in H is as a result of EEJ current
O discurso da verdade jurídica e seus desdobramentos na convicção no sistema de justiça: uma análise a partir de Max Weber
Authors: CABRAL DE ARAÚJO SILVA MEIRE CRISTINA 
Published: July 2021

A proposição central deste artigo é reconhecer o modo como o discurso da verdade jurídica se efetiva no sistema de justiça brasileiro. O estudo efetua-se a partir das elaborações de Max Weber referente a sociologia da dominação, onde, dentre outros temas, investiga os liames não aparentes nas relações que se estabelecem entre política e direito. A compreensão que se tem, a partir deste, é de que o fenômeno da verdade jurídica é construído por emanações do poder e de discursos da verdade. A eficácia dessa convicção, como algo a ser seguido sem desconfiança e capaz de obter a adesão social, requer um especializado aparato burocrático.

Effectors of income-child health gradient: Role of dietary diversity on child nutritional status in selected slums of Dhaka city
Authors: Mahmood Sazia , Kawser Mahbuba , Akther Shamima , Rahim Abu Torab MA 
Published: July 2021

Child dietary diversity (CDD) is an important nutritional outcome measuring the economic ability of a household to access a variety of foods during a determined period. Relating household income to CDD and child anthropometric failure, a cross-sectional study was conducted among 275 selected Dhaka city slum children of 6-12 years. Prevalence of stunting (18%), wasting (19.4%), and underweight (22%) among them were found similar to the current national figure. However, a sizable number of households showed increased DDS (>5), thereby indicating an increased household purchasing power (PP). Bivariate regression analysis showed that children from lower family income (≤6000 BDT) were 3 times more likely to be stunted as compared to children with greater family income [Unadjusted OR=3.097, 95% CI (1.578-6.077), p=0.001]. Furthermore, logistic regression showed that children who had <5 DDS were 2 times more likely to be stunted than children who had ≥5 DDS [Adjusted OR=2.127, 95% CI (1.051- 4.305), p=0.036]. Therefore, an inverse association has been found between CDD and their anthropometric failure.
