PATCHWORK AND ITS IMPACT ON ENTREPRENEURIAL PERFORMANCE: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF ENTREPRENEURIAL PASSION AND BUSINESS MODEL INNOVATION
Authors: Kun Liang , Guo Hui , Na Suprawin 
Published: September 2024

This study aims to delve into the impact of entrepreneurial patchwork on entrepreneurial performance and explain it through the moderating and mediating mechanisms of entrepreneurial passion and business model innovation. We thoroughly investigated the relationship between entrepreneurs' personal background, level of entrepreneurial patchwork, degree of entrepreneurial passion, business model innovation, and entrepreneurial performance using a 5-point Likert scale. The survey included entrepreneurs of different ages, genders, educational backgrounds, and entrepreneurial experiences. In the personal background information section, we collected information on participants' age, gender, educational background, and entrepreneurial experience. The survey on the level of entrepreneurial patchwork included ratings of innovativeness, adaptability, leadership, and risk tolerance. We also looked in depth at the entrepreneurs' motivations for starting a business, including factors such as financial independence, realizing a personal dream, and providing an innovative product or service. In the entrepreneurial experience section, we examined the entrepreneur's industry, the source of motivation for starting the business, and the challenges and achievements faced during the entrepreneurial process. Through these questions, we tracked the experiences of entrepreneurs in practice, providing a rich case background for subsequent analysis.
For the scale design of the entrepreneurial patchwork, we used the criteria of a 5-point Likert scale to meticulously measure innovativeness, adaptability, leadership, and risk tolerance. In addition, by carefully investigating the relationship between entrepreneurial passion level, business model innovation, and entrepreneurial performance, we hope to gain a deep understanding of the interaction between these factors. Finally, the results of this study are expected to provide new theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence for research in the field of entrepreneurship. A deeper understanding of the impact of entrepreneurial patchwork on entrepreneurial performance and the mechanisms by which entrepreneurial passion and business model innovation play a role is of practical significance for entrepreneurs, academics, and policymakers.

ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION-INDONESIA-MALAYSIA PALM OIL DISPUTE ON TRADE AND LIMITATIONS FOR SETTLEMENT
Authors: Goulard Sebastien 
Published: September 2024

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the complex dynamics occurring between the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in the context of the palm oil dispute with Indonesia and Malaysia. The study focuses on the profound impact of the EU's energy and environmental policies on the palm oil industry, a crucial economic sector in these two countries. The palm oil dispute has resulted in a mark decline in the support and favor ability for the EU in these two countries, thereby jeopardizing the broader EU-ASEAN strategic partnership. This situation has also created a volatile environment in which the potential for a full-scale trade war is high. Through a meticulous analysis of the historical evolution of exchanges between the European Union and Malaysia and Indonesia, this article sheds light on the multifaceted complexities inherent in this dispute. It also explores the far-reaching implications of this disagreement on social and political issues in both the European Union and ASEAN. This dispute has the potential to change the trade landscape and affect the geostrategic balance between the two regions, making it a topic of great significance and relevance in contemporary international relations.
Nursery Rhyme, Rhythm and Narrative Thinking in Early Childhood Education
Authors: Rosati Nicoletta 
Published: September 2024

The contribution focuses on the effectiveness of nursery rhymes, music, and storytelling in early childhood education. Various research studies carried out over the past twenty years have demostrated the way in which the use of rhythm, music, and storytelling can facilitate the development of a child’s overall personality. This study examines the impact of incorporating silent books into early childhood education to enhance a child’s language skills, social interaction, and cognitive development. Over the course of one month, teachers assessed the progress of young children in various domains, including vocabulary acquisition, narrative fluency, and peer interaction. The results highlight the importance of providing diverse opportunities for play with stories, images, and music in supporting holistic development in young children. By integrating these rich experiences into early education practices, educators can effectively nurture linguistic, social, and emotional competencies, laying a solid foundation for lifelong learning and growth.
MINERALOGY OF THE LOWER JURASSIC IN WEST CENTRAL ALBERTA
Authors: Deere R. E. , Bayliss P. 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
The Lower Jurassic in the Rocky Mountain House area of central Alberta includes the lower part of the Fernie Formation, which may be subdivided into two distinct lithologic units: the Nordegg Member, and the Poker Chip Shale Member. These units were studied by power X-ray diffraction to determine semiquantitative values of mineralogy. The values were verified by data from atomic-absorption spectrometry and insoluble-residue calculations.
Quartz, calcite, and dolomite comprise the essential minerals of the Nordegg Member, with pyrite, siderite, and bituminous matter as accessories. On the basis of these minerals and the lithologic data, three major facies can be identified: a dolomitic sandstone along the eastern margin, which passes westerly into a bioclastic limestone, and a chert farther to the west. Deposition of the Nordegg Member was on a stable shelf with a shoreline lying to the east, and deeper waters to the west. Two possible ultimate sources for the abundant silica required for biogenic deposition of chert are available—volcanic ash from central British Columbia, or silica carried in solution by streams flowing westerly off the Precambrian Shield area.
Mineralogy of the Poker Chip Shale Member is less variable, with quartz, illite and kaolinite being the essential constituents and pyrite, siderite, and glauconite the accessory minerals. No facies relationships were observed in the Poker Chip Shale Member, but a depositional environment similar to that of the Nordegg Member is suggested.
THE TERTIARY KISHENEHN FORMATION, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Authors: Jones P. B. 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
The Tertiary Kishenehn Formation is exposed along the valley of the North Fork of the Flathead River in southeastern British Columbia and northern Montana. It consists of about 8,600 ft of relatively fine-grained lacustrine deposits, overlain by more than 7,000 ft of conglomerates and breccias. Landslide blocks of Proterozoic and Palaeozoic rocks occur as clasts several hundred feet across in the upper unit. These blocks were derived from the ancestral Clark Range to the east.
The Kishenehn was deposited in a half-graben on the downthrown (west) side of the Flathead fault, concurrently with late movement of the fault, upon an irregular surface eroded in gently dipping Mesozoic and Palaeozoic strata. Late movement of the Flathead fault resulted in eastward tilting of the Kishenehn and underlying strata to form the east flank of the MacDonald dome, a broad anticline west of the Flathead Valley.
PRELIMINARY FORAMINIFERAL ZONATION, RUNDLE GROUP AND UPPERMOST BANFF FORMATION (LOWER CARBONIFEROUS), SOUTHWESTERN ALBERTA
Authors: Petryk A. A. , Mamet B. L. , Macqueen R. W. 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
Lower Carboniferous rocks of the uppermost Banff Formation and the Rundle Group of southwestern Alberta contain an abundant foraminiferal microfauna and algal microflora, from which the distribution and relative abundance of 95 taxa have been determined. Foraminifera, which are most common in mixed skeletal and oolitic calcarenites, less common in micritic limestones, and least common in echinoderm-bryozoan limestones, permit recognition of Zones 7 to 16 of a widely applied zonal scheme derived initially from Carboniferous rocks of Europe. Vertical variations in foraminiferal families include an upward decrease in the abundance of endothyrids, tournayellids, and earlandiids, corresponding with an upward appearance and increase in the abundance of cornuspirids, forschiids, tetrataxids, palaeotextulariids, archaediscids, and others, and are similar to familial variations in Lower Carboniferous platform rocks in other parts of the world. The more precise correlations derived from the 95 microfaunal and microfloral taxa are in agreement with correlation of the Rundle Group, Pekisko, Shunda, and Turner Valley formations with the Rundle Group, Livingstone Formation, as recently indicated by lithostratigraphic and macrofaunal studies.
Preliminary foraminiferal zonation suggests the following ages: The uppermost Banff Formation is middle Tournaisian, whereas the overlying Pekisko Formation and the lower part of the Livingstone Formation are late middle Tournaisian. Foraminiferal data are as yet too meagre to delineate the precise Kinderhook-Osage boundary, in terms of the American Midcontinent stages. The Shunda Formation, and the middle part of the Livingstone Formation, are of late Tournaisian age. The Shunda - Turner Valley contact closely corresponds to the Tounaisian-Viséan boundary, which is approximately equivalent to the Osage-Meramec boundary of the American Midcontinent Lower Carboniferous. The upper Livingstone Formation (type area only) and the Turner Valley Formation are of early Viséan age. Overlying rocks of the Mount Head Formation (type area) are late early Viséan to middle late Viséan (Meramec). The Mount Head - Etherington contact corresponds to the base of the Aux Vases Sandstone (type Chester) of the Midcontinent. The transitional nature of the Mount Head - Etherington foraminiferal microfauna does not support the presence of a Meramec-Chester hiatus as previously postulated. The Lower Etherington Formation is latest Viséan in age.
THE EDMONTON GROUP OF SOUTH-CENTRAL ALBERTA
Authors: Irish E. J. W. 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
The Upper Cretaceous deltaic and fluvial strata lying between the marine Bearpaw and nonmarine Paskapoo Formations along the eastern side of the Alberta Syncline have been known, for many years, as the Edmonton Formation. Several subdivisions of these strata have been made based on lithologic differences in the exposure along Red Deer River valley. Owing, however, to the interlensed nature of the beds and lack of widespread marker zones, these divisions are useful for local correlation only.
The Whitemud and Battle units within the Edmonton succession have been correlated with the Whitemud and Battle Formations of southeastern Alberta. Together the two units are easily recognized in outcrop and form a marker zone for field mapping; the Battle Formation is readily distinguished also on electric logs of drilled wells and is, therefore, an excellent datum for subsurface correlation. Furthermore, the Kneehills tuff bed within the Battle unit is a time marker. Field work has shown that the lithology of these units is similar throughout the southern Plains of Alberta and, together, they are the only reliable lithologic marker above the marine Bearpaw Formation.
Paleontology, particularly the vertebrate dinosaurian fauna, lends support to a division of the strata above and below the Whitemud and Battle units.
For these reasons the Whitemud and Battle units have been given formational status and the name Horseshoe Canyon Formation is proposed for the nonmarine strata between the Bearpaw and Whitemud Formations. The three formations; Horseshoe Canyon, Whitemud, and Battle are considered to comprise the Edmonton Group.
Owing to the difficulty in defining the rather obscure boundary between Upper Cretaceous strata above the Battle and the overlying Paskapoo Formation it is considered preferable to include those beds, of Lance age, in the Paskapoo Formation. Such a revision results in an upper and a lower boundary for the Edmonton Group that are easily recognized both in outcrop and on mechanical logs of drilled wells.
PROPOSED REVISION OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PASKAPOO FORMATION IN THE ALBERTA PLAINS
Authors: Carrigy M. A. 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
The nomenclature of the post-Kneehills strata is revised by placing the lower boundary of the Paskapoo Formation at the top of the Kneehills Member (Battle Formation) of the Edmonton Formation in central Alberta. The redefined Paskapoo Formation thus becomes equivalent to the Willow Creek Formation of southwestern Alberta and now includes the Lance-equivalent beds and the Cretaceous-Tertiary transition. Evidence is presented to show that the Porcupine Hills Formation is much more extensive than formerly mapped and that it overlies the Paskapoo Formation in the vicinity of Calgary.
NEW EVIDENCE ON THE AGE OF THE SHEERNESS BADLANDS EAST-CENTRAL ALBERTA
Authors: Bihl Gerhard 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
Diagnostic fossil angiosperm pollen figured from an outcrop section show that lower Edmonton (pre-Lance) sediments are exposed near Sheerness, Alberta (Sec. 22, Twp. 29, Rge. 13, W 4th Mer.). These strata are of the same age as the beds below the Drumheller Marine Tongue of the Edmonton Formation exposed in the type section at Drumheller, Alberta (Sec. 14, Twp. 29, Rge. 20, W 4th Mer.). Structural data obtained from oil-well records between the two localities substantiate the fossil evidence, which shows that no sediments of Lance age are present in theSheerness badlands.
CARBONATE CONCRETIONS IN THE UPPER CRETACEOUS CEDAR DISTRICT FORMATION, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Authors: Rahmani R. A. 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
The Upper Cretaceous Cedar District Formation of British Columbia, composed of alternating sandstones, siltstones, and shales, contains carbonate concretions of varied shapes and sizes. Calcite is the essential component, but detrital grains are abundant where the concretions are located in silty or sandy beds.
Several features suggest that the concretions were formed immediately after deposition of the host sediments or shortly after shallow burial: (1) animal borings or burrows in the concretions filled with sediment from the host beds; (2) thickening of the host beds around the concretions; (3) the random orientation of some concretions with respect to bedding and lamination, and the stretching and folding of others where present in beds showing soft-sediment deformation; (4) undeformed bivalved shells enclosed in the concretions; and (5) the scarcity of grain to grain contacts among the included detrital grains, and the undeformed mica plates. The concretions probably grew by precipitation of CaCO3 near decomposing organic matter in reducing and high pH environments.

Non-smooth self-excited vibration of a novel dynamical model for a disc brake
Authors: Liu Ningyu , Ouyang Huajiang , Fu Yiqiang , Liao Wei-Hsin 
Published: September 2024

This paper proposes a new dynamic model for the study of friction-induced self-excited vibration of a disc brake system, where the pad’s motions in both radial and circumferential/tangential directions are included, which is in stark contrast to the previous studies that normally consider the pad’s motion in the tangential/circumferential direction only. The non-smooth dynamics of the system including three different states of motion, i.e., stick, slip and separation, is investigated. Both the linear stability analysis and the transient dynamic analysis are performed. The numerical results in the linear stability analysis indicate that the inclusion of pad’s radial motion in the present brake model significantly expands the ranges of operating parameters for dynamic instability than the brake model with only circumferential/tangential motion for the pad. For the transient dynamic analysis, two different methods, i.e., the time integration method and the shooting method, are employed for the calculation of steady-state response. The accuracy and efficiency of the shooting method are subsequently examined. The numerical results show rich bifurcation behaviours of the steady-state response in the present brake model with the variations of brake pressure and disc speed , and (the stiffness of the inclined spring in the radial direction) is a key parameter for controlling the occurrence of chaotic vibration in the system.
