Abstract
The purpose of the article is to present a new approach to the optimal selection of financial resources to increase the level of economic security in a dynamic external environment. The scientific question arises as to which of the possible options is optimal, taking into account the dynamism of the external environment and security needs. The object of the study is the economic safety of industrial companies. The methodology is based on modern methods of system analysis, multi-criteria evaluation and paired comparison. The main result of the study is the proposed approach to assessing resource support for the implementation of a security mechanism, which, based on the actual limitations of human, organizational and financial resources at the disposal of most Ukrainian enterprises, can significantly improve the efficiency of their use without reducing the effectiveness of actions which are aimed at increasing competitiveness. The study has limitations, since it only takes into account the specifics of enterprises in the industrial sector of this economy, and therefore the options for financial resources are adjusted accordingly.

Abstract
Adequate enterprise financial risk management (EFRM) represents a leading competitive advantage of enterprises that determines market survival and business success in an uncertain global environment. Over time, EFRM has become a constituent part of integral business dealings of enterprises and one of the strategic functions of enterprise management. The main purpose of the paper is to explore the effects of the EFRM function/system on the financial performance of enterprises in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The basic source of data in the research was collected by means of a structured questionnaire. The target population in the research consists of large enterprises that have continuously operated in the territory of BiH (2013-2017). The selection of enterprises was made applying a random sampling method and contains 72 enterprises. Appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used in the data analysis and panel data analysis was used to assess effects of EFRM function on financial performance. The scientific contribution of the paper is reflected in the fact that the research is pioneering for Bosnia and Herzegovina with the analysis of effects of the EFRM function on enterprise financial performance (EFP). The results show that there are no systematic, statistically significant differences between large enterprises that engage in risk management (‘hedgers’) and enterprises that do not engage in risk management (‘non-hedgers’) in BiH.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to investigate the financial implications of website performance on restaurant visitor traffic. It is crucial to address the current challenges faced by the restaurant industry, such as decreasing diner numbers due to rising prices, which can have a negative impact on the financial results of companies. Recognizing the significance of maximizing profitability, especially for small businesses operating in a highly competitive industry, we sought to explore the potential of website performance as a driver of increased visitor traffic and daily menu sales. We conducted a two-month field experiment in which we measured morning website visits and daily lunch menu sales for a restaurant with a slower website and one with a quicker website. However, we did not find any statistically significant increase in visits to the restaurant as a result of improving the website’s speed. We conclude that there may be other ways to improve daily menu sales beyond website speed. The restaurant industry is highly competitive, and small businesses in particular need to carefully consider how to allocate their resources in order to maximize profitability. The results of our study suggest that investing in website redesign as a means of increasing visitor traffic may not be the most effective tactic for small restaurants. Our research highlights the importance of conducting experiments and gathering data to inform decision making, as it can help small businesses in the restaurant industry to make more informed choices about how to allocate their resources. By understanding the factors that do and do not impact sales, small restaurants can make more informed decisions and achieve their business goals.
Understanding the Leveraged Life Cycle Investment Strategy for Defined-Contribution Plan Investors
Authors: Wang Luo , Li Bin , Liu Benjamin 
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
We investigate whether the leveraged life cycle strategy, in which leverage is used to buy stocks when investors are young, is able to produce better retirement outcomes than other investment strategies that are currently offered by defined contribution plan providers and those suggested in the literature. Using both historical and bootstrap simulations for the period of 1900-2011 in the US, we find that the leveraged life cycle strategy has an ability to reduce risk, though this ability is relatively insignificant. Further, the leveraged life cycle strategy shows a comparative advantage over the balanced strategy. However, the leveraged life cycle strategy produces retirement outcomes inferior to conventional life cycle strategy, and demonstrates significant inferiority when compared to dynamic life cycle strategy.
Stefan Zweig: Die Schachnovelle – Das Spiel
Authors: Söder Thomas 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The Chess Story, written at the end of 1941, is considered internationally to be Stefan Zweig‘s greatest success. At the center of the novella is undoubtedly Dr. B. He comes from a distinguished Austrian family, was the head of a law firm in Vienna, which advised monasteries and part of the imperial family in property matters. When the Nazi occupation of Austria was imminent, the activity became dangerous. A day before Hitler invaded Austria, he was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned in the Hotel Metropole. The isolation and monotony wore him down. Shortly before a new interrogation is scheduled, Dr. B. discovers a book with a collection of one hundred and fifty chess games. To escape the threat of nothingness, he plays chess games blind. Playing chess is not understood by Dr. B. as a mere pastime, but as meaning; it has an existential significance.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to elaborate on the nouns listed in the title based on selected vernacular records, which in a certain phrase, but also by themselves, express the meanings making troubles/difficulties and seeking excuses/evasions . First of all, Transylvanian Saxon and High German respectively the German colloquial language have these lexemes in common, as well as vernacular words that do not belong to this linguistic level. Furthermore, it should be clarified that these vernacular words are attested in different sound variants from case to case in the Rhenish, in the Palatine and in the Bavarian-Austrian vernaculars, in the same or similar meanings in corresponding vernacular dictionaries. Transylvanian Saxon proper vocabulary is represented by a borrowing from Latin and two borrowings from Romanian. The dialect documents presented in the article are taken from the Transylvanian-Saxon Dictionary, its archive, the North Transylvanian Dictionary as well as from dialect and specialist literature. The etymological explanations respectively the etymological considerations of the analyzed lexemes have been prepared mainly based on relevant specialist dictionaries.

Authors: Tichy Ellen 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The article deals with the educational language German at German schools abroad and DSD schools in Romania. Schools in regions with autochthonous German minorities are given special consideration, as these contribute to the preservation of the minority‘s cultural identity. Existing empirical studies on language use and language retention at DSD schools are discussed and it is proposed that analyzes should not only be devoted to the norm-orientation in the language use of pupils, but to interactive processes in subject teaching.
Virtual Reality in Online Instruction
Authors: Devagiri Vishnu Manasa , Bejdevi Åsa , Nygren Åse 
Published: March 2024

Online instruction has become increasingly common as an alternative to face-to-face instruction (Bishop et al., 2013; Maertens et al., 2016). One benefit with online instruction is that it is more easily accessible for students who are not able to fully access the more traditional face-to-face instruction on campus. After the COVID pandemic, online instruction has gained further ground (Zhu, X., & Liu, J. 2020; Kerres & Buchner, 2022; Li, 2022). At the same time, we have seen a rapid increase in new educational technologies, including that of virtual reality (Ding, 2022; Al-Ansi, 2023; Zhang, 2022). Studies show that virtual reality can make the learning process more engaging and interactive (Jackson & Fagan, 2000; Ardiny, 2018; Roopa et al, 2021) and that it can increase reception levels and train collaborative skills (Isik-Ercan, 2010; Petersen et al, 2023). This paper raises the question of how the use of VR in online instruction affects learning experiences. While the participants in this study display a genuine enthusiasm for using VR in an online setting, results display a lack of knowledge in how to use VR to improve student learning. One area of investigation is concentration. Here, results are inconclusive as 50 % of the participants in G1 are unsure of whether VR improves concentration and 50 % of the participants in G2 claim that the use of VR improves their concentration level. Another area of investigation is understanding the topic. Here, the participants from G1 gave higher ratings than those who performed the experiment in G2, which implies that the impact was not as high as expected. In fact, the participants in G2 found that the VR equipment shifted focus from learning to other details in the visual medium. Another area is interactivity. Here, results indicate that VR technology has the didactic potential of engaging students and making them more interactive in the learning situation. The study concludes that while VR technology has the possibility of enhancing learning, a necessary prerequisite is that both students and teachers have skills and knowledge of how to use VR technology in a pedagogical setting along with few technical modifications to the device itself.

Objective: To explore the value of using the venous-arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference and the arterial-venous oxygen content difference ratio (ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2) as targets to guide early tissue hypoperfusion in sepsis in plateau areas. Methods: 90 sepsis patients admitted to the Third People’s Hospital of Xining and Golmud People’s Hospital from June 2017 to December 2022 were selected as the research subjects, and they were divided into the ScvO2 (central venous oxygen saturation) group and the ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 group, with 45 cases in each group. The two groups were treated with early shock resuscitation according to different protocols. The hemodynamic characteristics of the two groups of patients before and after resuscitation were observed, and the volume responsiveness was evaluated. The ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve was used to analyze the significance of ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2, ScvO2, lactate, lactate clearance, and urine output in evaluating patient prognosis and the correlation between ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 and the above indicators was explored. Results: Compared with before resuscitation, after fluid resuscitation, the heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), cardiac index (CI), lactate, lactate clearance rate, and urine output of the two groups of patients were significantly improved (P < 0.05); in terms of therapeutic effect, the 28-day mortality rate, 6-hour fluid balance, and lactic acid clearance of the ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 group were better than the ScvO2 group. The ROC characteristic curve showed that the ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 value can effectively predict the prognosis of patients (AUC = 0.907, sensitivity was 97%, specificity was 72.4%, and critical value was 1.84). ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 significantly correlated with ScvO2, lactic acid, and lactic acid clearance rate. Conclusion: The ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 value can be used to guide fluid resuscitation in early hypoperfusion in sepsis in plateau areas, improve patients’ hemodynamics, reduce lactate indicators, and increase urine output. ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 level > 1.84 can effectively improve patient prognosis.

Authors: Hardianningrum Ratna , Rizkia Retno 
Published: March 2024

Colonial buildings that still survive today are the main attraction because they have high characteristics and historical value. Colonial buildings are one of the cultural heritage that need to be maintained. The existence of colonial residential buildings must be maintained and utilized commercially as one of the solutions to survive. Maintenance of old colonial buildings is not easy, it needs to be quite expensive due to the age of the building and the need for rejuvenation. Heirs or owners of colonial buildings must maximize the building commercially, one of which is on the building on Jalan Beringin Sekayu Semarang by making it a business house. This colonial building has not yet entered the cultural heritage building. Still, it has the potential to enter the cultural heritage building in the future judging from the history and appearance of the building's façade.
The use of colonial residential buildings in business houses needs careful adjustment and arrangement because of the existence of 2 different functions. Residential houses are private zones that require the privacy of homeowners and their families, while business premises are public zones that can be accessed publicly and must reflect professionalism to be trusted by clients and must increase employee productivity. Comfort as a home and professionalism in a place of business are not easy to do without good planning. Planning must not change the total face of the building so that the historical value of the cultural heritage is not lost. Spatial adjustments must also be made by considering aspects of function, comfort, and professionalism. Without good planning, colonial buildings that have historical value, and cultural heritage characteristics will be lost and buildings cannot function properly with disruption of activities as residences and places of business.
The research was conducted with descriptive qualitative research methods through field observation, interviews, and literature studies. Research needs to be done so that colonial buildings can survive as cultural heritage and be used properly with adjustments due to their function as a residence as well as a place of business. The results of the study can describe the changes or adaptations that occur due to the use of colonial buildings of residential houses in places of business. These changes and adaptations include the appearance of the façade, zoning area, and circulation.
