Authors: Meslem Amina , Bouchetara Mehdi , Gahlam Nadia , Djennadi Lydia , Belali Mounir 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Research purpose
Entrepreneurship's evolving role now extends beyond economic realms to encompass broader societal and environmental imperatives. Sustainable entrepreneurship emerges as a linchpin in addressing contemporary challenges, offering innovative solutions that harmonize economic resilience with environmental and social objectives. Yet, the determinants underpinning individuals' intentions towards sustainable entrepreneurship, particularly within the Algerian context, remain underexplored. Keeping this into consideration, our research endeavours to identify the motivational factors influencing the decision to engage in sustainable entrepreneurial activities among students at the Kolea University Pole.

Design / Methodology / Approach
Drawing on a quantitative approach, data from 370 student responses were analysed using linear regression analysis.

Findings
The findings reveal the significant influence of both internal and external determinants on entrepreneurial intention for sustainable development among students. Internally, factors such as perceived entrepreneurial feasibility, perceived behavioural control, and attitudes towards sustainability emerged as key drivers of entrepreneurial intention towards sustainability. Students with a strong inclination towards sustainability exhibited a heightened intention to engage in entrepreneurial activities aligned with sustainable development goals. Externally, sociological factors and social networks were found to exert a significant positive influence on sustainable entrepreneurship intention. This underscores the importance of familial, educational, and societal support structures in fostering an entrepreneurial mindset among students, shedding light on the role of information and communication technologies in shaping this intention. Yet, the study also highlights a concerning lack of awareness among students regarding the role of entrepreneurship in addressing environmental challenges underscoring the need for educational interventions aimed at cultivating an environmental ethos among students.

Originality/Value/Practical Implications
This study contributes to the discourse on sustainable entrepreneurship in developing countries, particularly in Algeria, by elucidating the factors influencing entrepreneurial intention among students. The findings underscore the importance of both internal and external determinants in shaping students' entrepreneurial aspirations, with implications for educational policy and practice.
Does Economic Complexity Influence Carbon Emissions? Evidence from Next Eleven Countries
Authors: Osinubi Tolulope Temilola 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Research Purpose
The study examines the effect of economic complexity on carbon dioxide emissions in the Next 11 countries with the view to validate or refute the economic complexity-Kuznets curve (EcKC) between 1995 and 2019. The Next 11 countries include Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Turkey, and Vietnam.

Design/Methodology/Approach
Two econometric methods, correlated Panel standard error (PCSE) and feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) estimating techniques, are used to achieve the objectives of the study.

Findings
The estimates from the FGLS approach are consistent with that of the PCSE approach. The results from both techniques show that economic complexity increases carbon emissions in the Next 11 countries. Also, from the EcKC, the study invalidates the hypothesis and supports a positive monotonic linear relationship between economic complexity and carbon emissions, which also means the “pollution haven hypothesis”.

Originality/Value/Practical Implications
The study examines whether the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) in the Next 11 countries is valid or not. To do this, the current study is different from earlier studies in that it uses economic complexity—that is, the economic complexity-Kuznets Curve (ECKC)—instead of GDP. This is explained by the fact that environmental issues should involve the development of more advanced commodities rather than just raising an economy's GDP productivity. And most of the countries in the Next 11 countries are currently shifting their economies to produce more complex goods.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Research Purpose.
The aim of the research is to study and clarify the level of professional burnout, personality traits, their interrelationships, and the impact of personality traits on professional burnout in the advertising industry to make recommendations to advertising company managers.

Methodology.
The method of quantitative data collection was a 128-item questionnaire, a combination of the Latvian Personality Survey (LPA-v3) (Perepjolkina & Reņģe, 2013); the Maslach Professional Burnout Survey (Maslach & Jackson, 1981) adapted version in Latvian (Vaine, 2019). Data: N=148 respondents, data collected electronically via Google Forms, ensuring respondent confidentiality.

Findings.
Advertising employees have high emotional exhaustion, moderate levels of depersonalization or cynicism, and high levels of personal achievement reduction. The highest indicators of general personality traits are as follows: openness to experience, conscientiousness, and honesty - humility, while lower indicators are for extroversion, neuroticism, and agreeableness. Emotional exhaustion has a strong positive correlation with neuroticism and a negative correlation with extroversion; depersonalization has a positive correlation with neuroticism, a positive correlation with agreeableness and a negative correlation with extroversion. Decreased achievement or work efficiency has a strong negative correlation with neuroticism, a strong positive correlation with extroversion, and a positive correlation with openness to experience. Burnout dimensions also have very close positive and negative correlations with the sub-traits. There are statistically significant regression models between professional burnout scales and sub-traits: depressiveness and sociability have the greatest impact on emotional exhaustion; the greatest impact on depersonalisation is for depressiveness; joyfulness; friendliness; the greatest impact on changes in performance is for stress intolerance; joyfulness; creativity.

Practical implications.
With at least 50% of advertising employees experiencing high levels of burnout, it is recommended to organise individual and Team Supervision sessions to prevent burnout and identify the triggering factors in a specific organization. This format ensures that both employees and managers are equally accountable for the outcome and through a focused process promotes overall employee engagement, problem-solving, conflict resolution, understanding of diversity, empathy, and role clarity. No less important, the knowledge of the most common personal traits of Advertising Industries employees will help company managers to make more informed hiring decisions.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
The strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in Nigeria has significant impact on different stakeholders. Hence, this study investigated the implication of ASUU strike on students in Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, by examining the lifestyle of students during ASUU strike; its effects; and the coping strategies employed by the students during the strike. This study was conducted among undergraduates of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye. Cross-sectional survey design was used and 132 undergraduates were sampled using convenience sampling. Primary data were collected through the questionnaire, and the data were analysed using descriptive statistics such as simple percentage and frequency count.
Results showed that more students engaged in actively participating in social media and praying for the strike to be over, relaxation, and learning of skills while gardening, getting a certification course or interim job were the least engaged by students during the ASUU strike. The results above indicated that boredom was the highest effect of ASUU on students’ lifestyle, followed by worry and by anxiety while mental issues was the least felt consequence of ASUU strike by students. The study also revealed that the students employed some coping mechanism such as praying for an end to the strike, social media usage, learning a skill and even sleeping to mitigate the implications of ASUU strike. The study then concluded that the disruption of academic activities during the ASUU strike made students engage in different lifestyles while overcoming its effects by using coping strategies.

Authors: Ciołek Janusz , Orłowska Anna , Smreczak Marcin 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Rabies is endemic in Europe and red foxes are the vector and reservoir of the rabies virus (RABV). Based on classification established in the early 1990s, four variants of the rabies virus have been distinguished in Europe. Rabies broke out in January 2021 in the Mazowieckie voivodeship in central north-eastern Poland. The virus spread rapidly, reaching the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship in the central southern part and the Lubelskie voivodeship in the eastern part in the next months. Nine rabies cases were reported in the Podkarpackie voivodeship in south-eastern Poland between 2021 and 2023, mainly in red foxes but also in dogs and wildcat. The aim of the study was the identification of RABV variants in wildlife and domestic animals in Poland between 2021 and 2023.

Material and Methods
The study involved 157 animal brains tested positive for rabies using a fluorescent antibody test. From 10% w/v brain homogenates, RNA was isolated and full-length RABV genomes were high-throughput sequenced with an RABV-enriched approach. Complete genomes of RABV isolates were phylogenetically analysed and the variants were estimated.

Results
Molecular and phylogenetic studies revealed 147 (93.6%) of the RABV strains out of 157 which had rapidly spread in the wildlife of the Mazowieckie, Świętokrzyskie and Lubelskie voivodeships to be Central European strains. Nine RABVs (5.7%) detected in foxes, a wildcat and a dog in the Podkarpackie voivodeship were identified as North-Eastern European. A vaccine-induced rabies case was detected in a red fox in the Lubelskie voivodeship in May 2023.

Conclusion
Central European and North-Eastern European RABVs were circulating in Poland between 2021 and 2023.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to characterize and evaluate the mechanical strength of individual yarns as a blend of alpaca fiber and milk protein fiber. In addition, to obtain a product with a comfort factor suitable for textile applications.

Method: Different alpaca fiber diameters were used, such as alpaca huarizo fiber (AHF), alpaca superfine fiber (ASF) and alpaca baby fiber (ABF), and then mixed with milk protein fiber (MPF) to perform tests and methods, including the optical fiber diameter analyzer 4000 (OFDA 4000), tensile strength testing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

Results and Discussion: In SEM observation, MPF showed a smooth morphology with areas of irregular grooves and protrusions, while AHF, ASF and ABF fibers showed a smooth surface with thin flakes. EDAX analysis revealed a chemical composition of C, N, O, Na and Si for MPF, while AHF, ASF and ABF presented C, N, O and S. By FTIR, specific chemical groups were identified. MPF showed amide I groups at 1647 cm-1 and amide II group at 1540 cm-1, confirming the presence of protein. AHF, ASF and ABF fibers presented at 1624 cm-1 the amide I band due to contributions from the C=O stretching vibration of the peptide skeleton, and at 1514 cm-1 the amide II group, arising from N-H bending and C-N stretching vibrations. The results of the comfort factor (CF) of AHF is significantly lower than that of MPF. Specifically, the CF of AHF was 38.15%, while that of MPF reached 99.69%. This indicates that, in terms of comfort, AHF does not equal MPF. Furthermore, when combining these fibers, the addition of MPF increases the CF, while reducing the diameter and the variability of the coefficient of variation (CV). Finally, in single yarn tensile strength tests, AHF demonstrated higher tensile strength, with a value of 63.3±4.9 MPa and a % strain of 6.98±1%, compared to ASF and ABF. However, MPF exhibited a maximum tensile stress of 67.2±4.9 MPa and a % strain of 11.71±1.3%, far exceeding AHF. In mixtures, the MPF-50%_AHF-50% combination showed a maximum tensile stress of 64.9±4.8 MPa, but with a low % strain, compared to the MPF-70%_AHF-30% mixture, which had a % strain of 10.39±1%.

Research Implications: The synergy between both fibers (alpaca yarns, blended with other natural fibres) not only seeks to improve the tactile experience of the garment, but also to contribute to the manufacture of more sustainable and environmentally friendly garments.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the field of the textile industry by providing an alternative to the processing of textile fibers from the mixture of milk protein fibers and alpaca fibers. offering important knowledge for industry and academia.

Published: June 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate, in the Latin American context, the impact of university governance variables on the performance of these organisations, as measured by the result obtained in the QS ranking for Latin America, differentiating between public and private institutions.

Theoretical Framework: The relationship between the attributes of governance and performance has been the subject of different research carried out in the business environment, but not in the university environment.

Method: The methodology adopted in this research is quantitative and experimental. Two statistical methods were applied for the analysis: ordinary least squares (OLS) and Tobit regression. The sample corresponded to all the universities included in the QS ranking for Latin America, year 2020. The data corresponds to secondary sources, such as the websites of the universities analysed and the regulations and legislation of the corresponding universities and countries.

Results and Discussion: The results revealed that attributes such as the independence of the University Council (UC), the way the Rector is appointed and the presence of an independent audit committee have an effect on the performance of these institutions, with differences between the effect caused in public and private institutions.

Research Implications: The results show that these variables should be taken into account in university management to achieve higher performance, incorporating them as good practices for higher education.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature on the application of statistical methods in the field of university governance, applied to a specific region, which is Latin America.

Published: June 2024

The OBJECTIVE was to evaluate the results of using vacuum-assisted laparostomy in the surgical treatment of victims with gunshot abdominal wounds and clarify the indications for its use.METHODS AND MATERIALS. A comparative assessment of the results of surgical treatment of 180 victims with gunshot abdominal wounds was carried out. In the retrospective group (90 patients), vacuum-assisted laparostomy was used in accordance with the recommendations of the World Society of Emergency Surgery and national clinical guidelines for the treatment of peritonitis. To clarify the indications for vacuum-assisted laparostomy in patients of the prospective group (n=90), the risk scale for peritonitis progression in gunshot abdominal wounds (priority certificate № 2024100144) was used. The study groups were comparable according to the main clinical criteria: age of victims, severity of injuries, and structure of surgical interventions.RESULTS. In the retrospective group, vacuum-assisted laparostomy was performed in 41 % of cases, in the prospective group – in 56 % of victims. In-hospital mortality was 5.5 % and 2.3 %, respectively (p=0.2). The incidence of complications of grade III–IV according to Clavien–Dindo in the retrospective group was 34.5 %, and in the prospective group – 23.3 % (p = 0.07). At the same time, the progression of peritonitis with the development of abdominal sepsis was noted in 8 patients in the retrospective group and in 2 patients in the prospective group (14.2 % and 3.4 %, p = 0.04).CONCLUSION. Vacuum-assisted laparostomy is the important element of the surgical treatment program for victims with gunshot abdominal wounds, allowing implementation of damage control tactics and providing reliable control over the infectious process. The use of the developed risk scale for peritonitis progression substantiates the indications for vacuum-assisted laparostomy for gunshot abdominal wounds, which helps to reduce the incidence of abdominal sepsis.
