Financial Outcomes of the Locus of Control: PLS-SEM Evidence from Croatia
Authors: Novokmet Ana Kundid , Vuković Marija 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Raising importance of personality traits within the financial decision-making literature inspired us to conduct a research with locus of control in the main role for achieving financial benefits in personal finance. PLS-SEM analysis was adopted using the data set of 130 Croatian citizens who took part in a questionnaire survey. We confirmed that external locus of control is detrimental to self-control, which afterwards reflects in personal finance management. To be more precise, people with less developed self-control are more prone towards compulsive buying, materialism and indebtedness. Personality traits such as locus of control are usually stable among adults. Thus, mainly self-control can be exercised and improved. That is the key message of this article for external people and various providers of financial literacy programs – change is possible and manageable principally via practicing self-control. Nevertheless, the subsequent studies could offer a more detailed insight into the interplays between locus of control, financial literacy, self-control and financial outcomes.

Authors: Bătuşaru Cristina Maria , Porancea-Răulea Andreea Simina , Rădoiu Alina , Sbârcea Ioana Raluca 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The concept of Circular Food Products, focusing on sustainability and waste minimization throughout the production and consumption cycle, has garnered significant attention recently. This research aims to provide empirical insights into factors influencing consumer behaviour regarding sustainability in the food industry. Using quantitative analysis techniques such as the questionnaire to measure attitudes, preferences and behaviours among consumers, and employing structural modeling for the collected data, the study yields important findings that advance knowledge in sustainable food consumption. These findings promote environmentally friendly and socially responsible practices within the food industry and among consumers. One key finding is the low level of consumer awareness about circular food products and their benefits. Perceptions varied, with some viewing these products as innovative and eco-friendly, while others considered them inferior to conventional products. This suggests the need for effective marketing campaigns to shape consumer awareness and perception of circular food products. Additionally, the research highlighted varying levels of awareness regarding the environmental impact of food production and consumption, with some consumers demonstrating strong concern for sustainability.These insights underscore the importance of targeted marketing and education to enhance consumer understanding and acceptance of circular food products, ultimately supporting the shift towards more sustainable consumption patterns.
The Influence of Demonstrative Formal Rules on the Dynamics of the Effectiveness of Institutional Frameworks

Published: September 2024

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to identify the impact of demonstrative formal rules on the dynamics of the effectiveness of institutional frameworks. The importance of forming an effective institutional framework for any country is undeniable. The presence of an effective institutional framework is a prerequisite for ensuring the successful socio-economic development of the country, on the other hand, an ineffective institutional framework can have a wide range of negative consequences, including disparities in regional development. However, the achievement of today’s effectiveness of institutional frameworks cannot guarantee the proper socio-economic development of the country in the long term, because the institutional framework of any country is not unchanged, but is in a state of constant transformation due to the need to adapt the current formal rules to the new challenges facing society. Accordingly, the identification of the factors that determine the dynamics of the effectiveness of formal rules is no less important than the identification of the factors of ineffectiveness of formal rules. It is shown that one of these factors is demonstrative formal rules, that is, rules whose target effectiveness was not taken into account from the very beginning, and the only purpose of their implementation was to increase the political ratings of the initiators of their implementation. It has been proven that an effective measure to prevent the spread of demonstrative formal rules can be an increase in the general education of the population. The main advantages of the proposed measure are the low level of transaction costs and the absence of danger of manipulating public sentiment.
Examining Employee Buy-In for Organizational Change: A Structural Equation Model
Authors: Som Ratana , Chan Raksmey 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Regardless of the prevalence of change, getting employees on board is hard to achieve. While the investigation of leadership and change readiness has been done continuously, the examination of staff involvement in change and working culture, particularly of the non-western world, has been less appreciated. This article addresses this gap by analysing the connection between employee buy-in, trust, relationship, and task-oriented culture. The main data was gathered from 214 respondents. They are employees at a higher education institution in Cambodia and have experienced a technology-driven change recently. The structural equation model reveals significant relationships between trust and working relationship as well as task-oriented culture, highlighting the pivotal role of these cultural attributes in fostering trust and facilitating buy-in for change. The findings contribute to Social Exchange Theory by showcasing the reciprocal exchange between the employee relationship and support in organizational changes and portray a missing trust among Cambodian employees. Recommendations were drawn from the findings for the betterment of change practices by the managers and practitioners.
ESG Rates Divergence on the Emerging Markets in the European Union
Authors: Vasiu Diana Elena 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The growing emphasis on sustainability has led to a rise of ESG rating providers, but this expansion has brought challenges. ESG ratings are complex and can vary significantly between agencies, due to different scoring methods and non-standardized disclosures, making accurate assessments difficult. Moreover, investors and companies express limited confidence in the accuracy of these ratings. Regulatory developments aim to improve ESG disclosure and comparability, however, discrepancies in assessment criteria and rating methodologies persist. These aspects have led to the increasing concern of researchers from the academic field and professionals from the financial markets to identify how divergent are the ESG rates provided by various suppliers, what are the causes of this divergence, how do these influence the performance of companies and above all, how the negative effects of divergent ESG rates mitigated. Most researchers focused their attention on the aforementioned aspects on the developed financial markets from the USA or Europe, on the top companies or on the companies listed on the BRIC emerging markets. This article analyzes the divergence of ESG rates provided by three well-known rate-providers, for companies listed on emerging markets in Europe, contributing to increasing knowledge in this field.
Rural clinical placements in clinical education: impact on rural practice interest in Canada: a scoping review.
Authors: Oluwole Oluwamisimi 
Published: September 2024

Statistics Canada defines rural areas as towns or municipalities outside the commuting zone of larger urban centres.(1) Clinical students included are students in the nursing and medical field at all levels of education. There is an inequitable distribution of healthcare professionals in Canada.(2) Research has shown that 8% of physicians practice in rural areas, whereas 19% of Canadians live in rural areas. (3, 4) This trend has raised concerns about inequitable access to healthcare practitioners in rural regions. Despite concerns raised, there is a lack of comprehensive research investigating incentives for nursing and medical students to stay and practice in rural settings. Furthermore, much of the research that investigates healthcare student settlement in rural areas is outdated, and given the COVID-19 pandemic, many intentions have changed. Objective This scoping review seeks to explore the influence of rural clinical placements on the choice of practice locations among nursing and medical students in Canada. The aim is to address the critical gap in healthcare provision in rural areas by assessing whether experiential learning in these settings encourages graduates to pursue careers in similarly underserved areas. In studying the effectiveness of clinical placements on self-reported interest, methods of improving long-term outcomes for primary healthcare staffing in rural areas can be evaluated and applied to current training. The goal is to address disparities in healthcare accessibility and gain an understanding of policy development and educational practices. Design A scoping review Methodology The review will synthesise available qualitative and quantitative literature in English language spanning from 1970 to the present to ascertain the relationship between rural clinical placements during educational training and the subsequent selection of rural practice settings. Publications will be sourced from scientific databases such as CINAHL and Ebscohost. Grey literature will also be included, and journal citations will be searched. Screening will be carried out by two independent reviewers, and all disputes will be settled by a third reviewer.
Adaptation to Environmental Stressors Conferred by Gene Copy Number Variation in Herbicide Resistant Amaranthus palmeri
Authors: Gama Sara 
Published: September 2024

Many rampant agricultural weeds have been found to contain gene copy number variation, a genetic adaptation that can facilitate the evolution of stress resistance. Amaranthus palmeri is a highly competitive and problematic agricultural weed in the United States which continues to naturalize, spreading northward to Canada. A.palmeri has gained attention due to its rapid evolution of herbicide resistance— a mechanism conferred by gene copy number variation of EPSPS. Researchers hypothesize that this gene is contained within an amplicon alongside other stress tolerance related genes. This raises the question of whether increased EPSPS gene copy number is associated with higher tolerance to environmental stressors, beyond herbicide stress. To prepare for addressing this hypothesis, I conducted a pilot project testing the ideal conditions for germination of A.palmeri. I planted 200 seeds divided between greenhouse and growth chamber environments. Many seeds benefit from a period of cold as a signal to break dormancy, thus, each category was further divided into two treatments: control and cold stratified (seeds were incubated in a –23 cold room for a week). I was interested in whether the increased consistency of temperature, light intensity, and photoperiod provided by a growth chamber, relative to a greenhouse, would increase germination rates. Results indicate that greenhouse grown seedlings had a 71% germination rate and within each treatment, 86% of cold stratified plants germinated while only 56% of the control group germinated. Whereas in the growth chamber, surprisingly only 26% of plants germinated with a breakdown of 22% cold stratified and 30% control. Thus, to germinate enough plants for a large-scale experiment, I chose to cold stratify seeds and grow them in the greenhouse for my undergraduate thesis. In this common garden experiment, I am currently growing 500 plants which will be divided into four stress treatment categories: control, salinity, drought, and salinity x drought. Using phenotypic measurements and digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) to quantify EPSPS gene copy number, I will test for a possible association between plants with a higher tolerance to these simulated environmental stressors and the presence of increased EPSPS gene copy number.
Tożsamość polskich uczniów bilingwalnych mieszkających w Irlandii
Authors: Botwin Joanna 
Published: September 2024

Uczniowie bilingwalni, którzy migrują wraz z rodzinami lub urodzili się poza granicami kraju, doświadczają wielu zmian, muszą dostosować się do nowego środowiska oraz innego języka. Tożsamość dziecka dwujęzycznego, które styka się z dwiema kulturami oraz żyje i wychowuje się w środowisku, gdzie używane są dwa kody językowe, może być hybrydą tych dwóch światów. Wszystkie te kwestie mogą prowadzić do poczucia wyobcowania lub problemów z określeniem własnej tożsamości. Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia, jak polskie dzieci dwujęzyczne mieszkające w Irlandii postrzegają siebie, czy identyfikują się z Polską, czy też czują się Irlandczykami. Sformułowane w artykule wnioski odnoszą się do dwóch grup respondentów, bilingwistów urodzonych w Polsce oraz ankietowanych urodzonych w Irlandii (jeden uczeń urodzony we Włoszech). Uwagę poświęca się również czynnikom, które mają istotny wpływ na samoidentyfikację, takim jak rola rodziców, wpływ otoczenia, kontakty z rodziną w Polsce czy system edukacji.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of a single session of education and exercise compared with multiple sessions of a multimodal physiotherapy intervention for adults with spinal disorders in an advanced practice physiotherapy specialized spine model of care. DESIGN: Pragmatic randomized controlled trial. METHODS: We randomized patients with spinal disorders, who were referred for a spinal surgery consultation and triaged as nonsurgical cases by an advanced practice physiotherapist, to a single session of education and prescription of an exercise program (n = 52) or multiple sessions (6 in total) of a multimodal physiotherapy intervention (n = 54). The primary outcomes were the short form Brief Pain Inventory pain severity scale (BPI-S) and the Brief Pain Inventory pain interference scale (BPI-I), and secondary outcomes included disability, quality of life, catastrophization, and satisfaction. Linear mixed models were used to assess differences between groups across time points at 6, 12, and 26 weeks. RESULTS: There were no significant between-group differences on the BPI-S and only a significant improvement at 6 weeks on the BPI-I in the multiple-session group (mean difference: −0.96/10; 95% CI, −1.87 to −0.05). There were no other statistically significant differences between groups, except for satisfaction where participants in the multiple-session group reported statistically significantly greater satisfaction on the 9-item Visit-Specific Satisfaction Questionnaire and the MedRisk questionnaire. Both groups saw significant improvements over time on all outcomes except for the BPI-S. CONCLUSION: Adding supervised multimodal physiotherapy sessions did not result in better clinical outcomes when compared to a single session of education and exercise. Patients were more satisfied with the multiple-session approach. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2024;54(10):634-646. Epub 9 September 2024. doi:10.2519/jospt.2024.12618
