Published: May 2024

Objective: This research aims to summarize the impacts on mangroves in mainland China due to changes in land use patterns in the context of rapid urbanization.

Theoretical Framework: Grounded in theories of urbanization, land use change, and ecosystem dynamics, this research adopts a theoretical framework that integrates concepts from geography, ecology, and urban studies. It explores the complex interactions between urban development and mangrove ecosystems, considering factors such as population growth, economic development, and policy interventions.

Method: The systematic literature review method used in this study follows the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. From 359 papers, 14 were selected for review and summary based on sources and identification, inclusion and exclusion criteria, screening, and data extraction.

Results and Discussion: We realize that development activities that land use, such as land reclamation and port construction, pose the most significant threat to mangroves, often leading to irreversible damage. In addition to the obvious destruction, the covert and sustained impacts of urban development on mangrove forests have been receiving increasing attention. To address the negative impact of substantial demand for construction land, the establishment of protected areas at different levels has been proven to be indeed effective. However, the sustainable development of management and service functions within protected areas requires further research.

Research Implications: Understanding the specific impacts of the urbanization process on mangrove forests is crucial for mangrove restoration efforts and for formulating and adjusting urban development-related plans and policies.

Does Servant Leadership Affect Public Employees’ Innovative Behavior? The Mediating Role of Organizational Identity
Authors: Wang Qiu , Khan Muhammad Shahid 
Published: May 2024

Objective: In the context of China’s deepening reform era, innovation is the first driving force leading development. Involving a sample of 576 public employees from government agencies in Yunnan, China, the present study investigates the impact of servant leadership on public employees’ innovative behavior, as well as the underlying mechanisms of this relationship.

Theoretical Framework: According to social identity theory, organizational identity signifies the extent to which individuals acknowledge and identify with their organization. Previous research has shown that leadership styles indirectly affect employee behaviors (e. g., innovative behaviors) through employees’ cognition and emotion [16-18], therefore, organizational identity may be a potential mediating variable in the correlation between servant leadership and the innovative behavior exhibited by employees.

Method: Data was collected between September 2023 and January 2024 among public sector employees in Kunming, located in the Yunnan province. The data was collected in two phases at different time points. First, we distributed questionnaires among part-time MPA students in a university in Yunnan province in the first stage. Then, we continued to distribute questionnaires among full-time public employees at various public sectors in Kunming city.

Results and Discussion: The results revealed a positive impact of servant leadership on the innovative behavior of Chinese public employees. Additionally, organizational identity partially mediated the association between servant leadership and the innovative behavior of Chinese public employees. These findings may provide some suggestions for the public organizations in China.

Research Implications: The present study also has several practical implications for policy-makers within the public sector. First, public organizations ought to attach importance to the servant leadership because it can effectively promote employees’ innovative behavior. Specifically, public organizations can regard the traits of servant leadership as a criterion for selecting leaders within the public sector. By doing so, public organizations can encourage servant leadership style by selecting and promoting those employees with awareness and traits of serving others.

Originality/Value: After deleting invalid questionnaires, 576 completed questionnaires were obtained finally. Of all the participants, 24% (n = 138) was male and 76% (n = 438) was female.77.6% of the participants were under the age of 26 years (n = 447). 61.8% (n = 356) have worked less five years in the public sector.

Published: May 2024

Abstract. Study on metadiscourse covers various genres of texts, both academic and non-academic texts. This study concerns the genre of regulation that is still rarely studied. It aims to explain the types and functions of metadiscourse in local government regulation. By using descriptive qualitative design, it studied the local government regulation for Sumenep tourism development in particular for the front matter and the section of the core content of the regulation, excluding part of the explanation or attachment. Data in the form of clauses and sentences used which contain metadiscourse markers. Results of the study have shown that there are transitions, endophoric markers, and evidentials of interactive metadiscourse. There are no frame markers and code glosses. Endophoric markers are the most frequently used functions to refer to information from the text previously stated, evidentials that refer to information from other texts are mainly used to refer to other forms of the constitution, laws, ministerial regulation, and other government regulations as the basis of regulation drafting, and the least is transitions that functions to relate between main clause to be coherent and easily understood as a whole text. Meanwhile, all categories of interactional metadiscourse markers are not found in this genre of regulation. The use of metadiscourse markers can assist in engaging the reader by signaling the writer's attitude, position, or assessment of the presented information. This can render the text more interactive and persuasive.Keywords: metadiscourse, regulation, tourism, Sumenep, Madura

Authors: Nirmala Bening Nuha , Basid Abdul 
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Modernization had a significant impact on environmental change. This change is described in the novel “Baitun Nakhil” and studied by using ecocritical theory. Ecocriticism is a way to describe the relationship between humans and nature in all cultural environments. This study aims to identify ecological narratives related to environmental change as the modernization impact in the novel “Baitun Nakhil” by Tarek Eltayeb based on Garrard’s ecocritical perspective. This study is qualitative descriptive. The data used are narratives and dialogue in the novel “Baitun Nakhil”. Data were collected by reading and note-taking techniques. Data were validated by increasing persistence, triangulation, and discussion. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman method, which consists of three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of the study are the discovery of environmental change as a modernization impact in several scopes according to Garrard as follows: 1) pastoral narratives in the form of spatial and temporal distinction; 2) pollution caused by cigarettes and sirens; 3) wilderness as in mountains and forest; 4) natural disasters in the form of a snowstorm; 5) dwelling adopts the georgic concept as in Wad Al-Kababish; 6) relation between animals and human as shown by the treatment of animals and imitation of bird sounds; and 7) earth changes initiated by the plastic usage and the construction of greenhouse as conservation efforts. This study proves that modernization destroys nature due to the massive exploitation of natural resources. Conversely, modernization makes it easier to campaign and conserve nature with its sophisticated technology. Keywords: Ecocriticism, Environmental Change, Greg Garrard, Modernization, Novel
What dress code do we teach students and residents? A survey of patients’ and their families’ preferences regarding physicians’ appearance
Authors: Goto Michiko , Sakamoto Ryota , Wakabayashi Hideki , Takemura Yousuke 
Published: May 2024

Introduction: From the late 1960s to the present, physicians’ dress codes have been actively studied in Western countries. Until the early 21st century, patients tended to prefer a conservative dress style, such as “shirt and tie or skirt” with white coats for physicians. However, as attitudes toward dress codes have changed, knowledge regarding this issue needs to be updated. A variety of colours of scrubs are currently commonly used by medical professionals, but it is not known whether all colours are acceptable to patients. The current study sought to investigate the acceptability of various dress codes for physicians from the patients’ perspective, to inform medical education.
Methods: Outpatients and their family members at a university hospital and a small-to-medium-sized hospital were surveyed. We inquired about which of the different styles of white coats and different colours of scrubs were most desirable for male and female physicians. We used Scheffe’s paired comparison method to determine rankings.
Results: Patients and their family members expected their physicians to wear white coats rather than scrubs. Furthermore, a more traditional and formal dress code was preferred. The least preferred colour of scrubs was yellow.
Conclusion: The current results indicated that patients’ preference for a traditional, conservative appearance has not changed over time. This finding does not match current perspectives on infection prevention. Both patient preferences and infection prevention are important for informing education and gaining patient trust.

Published: May 2024

En este trabajo se presenta el depósito de películas delgadas de óxido de indio dopadas con estaño (ITO) utilizando la técnica DC magnetrón sputtering para su uso como electrodos en pruebas fotoelectroquímicas. Los depósitos se realizaron variando la potencia de depósito de 10 a 40 W por un tiempo de 30 minutos. Al término del depósito, las películas de ITO fueron tratadas térmicamente a 400 °C para incrementar la cristalinidad y las propiedades eléctricas del material, ya que después del tratamiento térmico la resistividad del material fue de 2 MQ a 20 kQ. El porcentaje de transmitancia de las películas de ITO fue mayor al 80 % cumpliendo así con la transparencia de los óxidos semiconductores transparentes (TCO). Como consecuencia de las diferentes potencias de depósito, el espesor de las películas de ITO se encontró entre los 38 a 49 nm, influenciando las propiedades eléctricas del material. La película ITO - 40W fue la que presento una mayor concentración de portadores (2.8 x 10 22 cm-3), lo que favoreció el incremento en la fotorespuesta del material en las pruebas de cronoamperometría, alcanzando una fotocorriente de hasta 0.24 A.

Abstract - This study aimed to evaluate the influence of market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and operational risk on the profitability of banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period from 2020 to 2022. The chosen timeframe coincided with the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, which naturally resulted in a decline in banking profitability and an increase in the risks faced by these banks. The research adopts a quantitative approach, and sample selection employed the purposive sampling method. Secondary data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange were utilized for analysis. Data processing was conducted using EViews 12, involving various tests such as descriptive statistical analysis, classical assumption testing, panel data regression analysis, model testing, and hypothesis testing. The findings of the study reveal that market risk positively affects profitability, while credit risk and operational risk has a negative impact on profitability. Conversely, liquidity risk does not demonstrate a significant effect on profitability. The outcomes of this study hold significance for academic researchers exploring the relationship between risk management practices and bank profitability.Keywords: Bank, Profitability, Risk

The use of steel fibres as a concrete mixture can prevent cracks due to loading, the heat of hydration, and shrinkage. However, the availability of steel fibre is still limited, and it is expensive enough that alternative materials are required, which may reduce the economic value. This research aims to analyse the effect of an easy-to-find alternative material, namely plywood nail waste, on the properties of normal concrete. Concrete properties tests include compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity. This research was conducted by mixing concrete with nail waste material with variations of 0%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% of the weight of the concrete. Concrete samples in the shapes of cylinders and beams are required for this study. The results showed that using nail waste can reduce the compressive strength of 28-day-old concrete and the modulus of elasticity as the variation of the nail waste increases. However, the use of nail waste in certain variations can increase the split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete. Split tensile strength measurements after adding nail waste with varying amounts of 0%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% were 2.279 MPa, 2.408 MPa, 2.068 MPa, and 1.583 MPa. The optimum variation was 1%, with an increase of approximately 5.64% of concrete without mixed waste nails. The variation of nail waste also produces flexural strength values of 1.95 MPa, 2.47 MPa, 2.21 MPa, and 1.43 MPa, so the optimum variation is 1%, with an increase of about 26.67% from the concrete without nail waste mixture.
