Authors: Mayrhofer Roland , Roberts Lara M. , Hackl Julia M. , Frischholz Katja 
Published: April 2024

IntroductionAlthough vegan and vegetarian diets and lifestyles differ significantly from each other, among other things, notably in their respective consequences regarding animal welfare and their ecological impact, vegans and vegetarians are often grouped together and usually compared to omnivores in psychological research. Considering that vegans and vegetarians often share similar motives for their lifestyle choices, namely animal and environmental issues, the question arises why similar motives lead to different conclusions and correspondingly different behaviors, most notably, of course, that vegetarians consume animal-derived foods such as cheese or milk while vegans do not consume animal-derived products (e.g., food, cosmetic products). This is why this study explored the psychological differences between vegans, vegetarians, and prospective vegans – the latter group being located in an intermediate, transitionary position. Focusing on the motivational, affective and cognitive components of dietary transition and participants’ adherence to eating patterns, reasons for said patterns, possible hinderances to becoming vegan, the role of participants’ social environments, and the impact of various misconceptions regarding the feasibility of a vegan diet in everyday life were all explored.MethodsAn observational study was conducted via online questionnaire (1420 participants).ResultsSignificant differences were found between vegans, prospective vegans, and vegetarians, especially concerning their knowledge of issues pertaining to their respective lifestyles.DiscussionThe critical role of knowledge is invoked as an explanation as to why vegans and vegetarians display different behaviors although they share a similar motivation. Thus, in this study the concept of vegan literacy is introduced. Additionally, the distinctive role of cheese is explored, discussing possible indications of its potentially addictive nature and, consequently, the importance of cheese as a hindering factor for pursuing a vegan diet.

Background and aimsIn China, a significant number of undergraduates are experiencing poor sleep quality. This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of poor sleep quality and identify associated factors among undergraduates in Jiangsu Province, China.MethodsA total of 8,457 participants were collected in 2022 using whole-group convenience sampling. The factors studied included basic demographics, family and social support, personal lifestyles, physical and mental health, mobile phone addiction index (MPAI), and the Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality. Four models, including weighted multiple linear regression, binary logistic regression, weighted linear mixed model, and logistic regression with random effects, were applied to identify associated factors for sleep quality.ResultsOf the 8,457 participants analyzed, 26.64% (2,253) were classified into the poor sleep quality group with a PSQI score &gt;7. No significant relationship was found between sleep quality and gender, native place, economic level of family, physical exercise, dormitory light, dormitory hygiene, and amativeness matter. Risk factors for sleep quality identified by the four models included lower CD-RISC, higher MPAI, fourth grade or above, smoking, drinking, greater academic pressure, greater employment pressure, roommate sleeping late, noisy dormitory, poorer physical health status, poorer mental health status, and psychological counseling.ConclusionsThese findings provide valuable insights for university administrators, enabling them to better understand the risk factors associated with poor sleep quality in undergraduates. By identifying these factors, administrators can provide targeted intervention measures and counseling programs to improve students' sleep quality.

Published: April 2024

Background and objectiveAdolescents from Latin America and the Caribbean grow up in a context of social inequality, which diminishes their well-being and leads to impaired emotional-cognitive development. To understand the problem, it is important to synthesize the available research about it. This study aims to explore the knowledge about adolescents’ mental health in Latin America and the Caribbean exposed to social inequality.MethodsA systematic scoping review was conducted encompassing a search in five databases (Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, and LILACS) in June 2022. Articles of various typologies were included without time limit. After two rounds of screening, relevant data were manually extracted and synthesized into self-constructed themes using thematic analysis.ResultsOut of 8,825 retrieved records, 42 papers were included in the final review, with a predominance of quantitative approaches. The synthesis revealed two main analytical themes: (a) defining social inequality, wherein intersecting inequalities produce discrimination and determine conditions for social vulnerability; (b) social inequality and mental health, which highlights the association between socio-structural difficulties and emotional problems, amplifying vulnerability to mental ill health and poor mental health care.ConclusionThe scientific evidence reveals that social inequality is related to impaired well-being and mental ill health on the one hand and a lack of access to mental health care on the other hand.

In light of its significance, the present study delves into exploring deep learning, a branch of artificial intelligence.MethodsIn the study, deep learning networks ResNet101, AlexNet, GoogLeNet, and Xception were considered, and it was aimed to determine the success of these networks in disease diagnosis. For this purpose, a dataset of 1,680 chest X-ray images was utilized, consisting of cases of COVID-19, viral pneumonia, and individuals without these diseases. These images were obtained by employing a rotation method to generate replicated data, wherein a split of 70 and 30% was adopted for training and validation, respectively.ResultsThe analysis findings revealed that the deep learning networks were successful in classifying COVID-19, Viral Pneumonia, and Normal (disease-free) images. Moreover, an examination of the success levels revealed that the ResNet101 deep learning network was more successful than the others with a 96.32% success rate.ConclusionIn the study, it was seen that deep learning can be used in disease diagnosis and can help experts in the relevant field, ultimately contributing to healthcare organizations and the practices of country managers.
Human-centric deposit policy of banks
Authors: Продолятченко П.А. 
Published: April 2024

В статье рассматриваются вопросы мобилизации финансовых ресурсов для растущих потребностей экономики, необходимости ликвидации дефицита привлеченных средств отечественных банковских структур, трансформации депозитной политики банков, эволюция данного процесса, раскрывается содержание модели человекоцентричности, депозитного направления деятельности кредитных организаций. Подчеркивается значимость изменения подходов и приемов взаимодействия кредитных организаций с владельцами денежных средств в целях обеспечения непрерывности и возрастания масштабов депозитного финансирования банковского бизнеса и создания долгосрочной устойчивой депозитной базы, отвечающей потребностям времени. Обращается внимание на формирование модели человекоцентричности депозитной политики банка в рамках развития клиентоориентированного подхода в деятельности кредитных организаций. Клиентоцентричность рассматривается прежде всего как новая бизнес-модель депозитной деятельности банка, направленная на установление устойчивых связей со сберегателями, развитие у них потребности в депозитном участии в банковском бизнесе, совместном удовлетворении потребностей от обладания финансовыми ресурсами. Кредитным организациям (в частности, ПАО «Сбербанк») предлагаются актуальные, по мнению автора, направления развития человекоцентричности в отношении отдельных категорий граждан, основанные на усилении персонального банковского депозитного менеджмента и отказе от принципа публичности в депозитовании.
The article discusses the issues of mobilizing financial resources for the growing needs of the economy, the need to eliminate the deficit of attracted funds of domestic banking structures, the transformation of the deposit policy of banks, the evolution of this process, and reveals the content of the human-centricity model, the deposit direction of the activities of credit institutions. The importance of changing approaches and methods of interaction between credit institutions and owners of funds is emphasized in order to ensure continuity and increase in the scale of deposit financing of the banking business and create a long-term stable deposit base that meets the needs of the time. Attention is drawn to the formation of a human-centric model of the bank's deposit policy as part of the development of a client-oriented approach in the activities of credit institutions. Customer-centricity is considered primarily as a new business model for the bank’s deposit activities, aimed at establishing stable relationships with savers, developing their need for deposit participation in the banking business, and jointly satisfying the needs of possessing financial resources. Credit institutions (in particular PJSC Sberbank) are offered current, in the author’s opinion, directions for the development of human-centricity in relation to certain categories of citizens, based on strengthening personal bank deposit management and abandoning the principle of publicity in depositing.

Настоящая статья посвящена институциональным стратегиям региональной экспансии крупных российских торговых систем в условиях перманентного экономического кризиса, описывает происходящую в стране трансформацию торговой сферы, изменение конкурентной среды, влияние происходящих процессов на макро- и микроэкономику. Подробно рассмотрены плюсы и минусы реализации торговыми системами стратегий ускоренного территориального развития, сокращения вложений в основные средства, смешения форматных требований, сокращения и максимальной оптимизации ассортимента, замены собственными торговыми марками товарных брендов, применения технологии обратного франчайзинга в приращении бизнеса. Показана позиция государства по отношению к консолидации торговой инфраструктуры, противоречивый характер ожидаемых в среднесрочной перспективе результатов трансформации торговой сферы. Согласно авторской позиции, государство строит управляемую и консолидированную в частных руках торговую инфраструктуру (экосистему будущего), пренебрегая риском сокращения поддержки со стороны предпринимательского слоя, как своей опоры, а потребители получают жестко дифференцированное по покупательской способности товарное предложение и ограничение в выборе каналов удовлетворения потребностей.
This article is devoted to institutional strategies for the regional expansion of large Russian trading systems in the context of a permanent economic crisis, describes the transformation of the trade sphere taking place in the country, changes in the competitive environment, and the impact of ongoing processes on macro- and microeconomics. The pros and cons of implementing strategies for accelerated territorial development by trading systems, reducing investments in fixed assets, mixing format requirements, reducing and maximizing assortment optimization, replacing product brands with their own trademarks, and using reverse franchising technology in business increment are considered in detail. The article shows the position of the state in relation to the consolidation of trade infrastructure, the contradictory nature of the expected results of the transformation of the trade sphere in the medium term. According to the author's position, the state is building a managed and consolidated commercial infrastructure (ecosystem of the future) in private hands, neglecting the risk of reducing support from the entrepreneurial layer as its support, and consumers receive a strictly differentiated product offer in terms of purchasing power and a restriction in the choice of channels to meet needs.

Authors: Qin Xiao , Xie Guangying 
Published: April 2024

This paper analyzes the impact of digital transformation on corporate ESG (environmental, social, and governance) performance based on the dynamic capability theory of enterprises and the stakeholder theory perspective and conducts empirical tests based on the data of Chinese A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2009 to 2022. Before, researchers mostly looked at overall ESG performance. This paper, on the other hand, starts by looking at overall ESG performance and then goes on to look at each of the three ESG dimensions (E, S, and G). It then does a subdimensional refinement to see how digital transformation affects the different dimensions of ESG performance and then checks how the company's ability to innovate in green technology affects the subdimension of ESG performance. This paper puts digital transformation and ESG performance in the same analytical framework, and from the perspective of digital transformation, it puts forward targeted insights and suggestions to improve the ESG performance of Chinese enterprises, providing theoretical support and empirical evidence to promote the practice of ESG development in Chinese enterprises.

Authors: Niu Yu Xing , Tanyabut Phibun 
Published: April 2024

This study investigated the efficacy of an experimental method for improving learning achievement and satisfaction in first-year high school chemistry. Thirty students from a high school in Yinchuan, China, were randomly assigned to participate in the research, which utilized a pre-test/post-test group design. The research used four lesson plans focusing on chemical reactions, specifically between the metal sodium and its compounds. These lessons were validated for effectiveness using the 80/80 criterion. Additionally, a chemistry achievement test and a student satisfaction questionnaire were employed, both demonstrating appropriate difficulty and discrimination indices and high reliability.
The results demonstrate that the students learning achievement in chemistry significantly improved after using the experimental method. The mean score before studying was 14.90 (SD = 2.04), while the mean score after studying was 18.43 (SD = 2.06). This difference was statistically significant at the.05 level. Furthermore, the students expressed high satisfaction with the experimental learning approach. The overall satisfaction score was 4.64 (SD = 0.49), and specific aspects like interest and motivation and the perceived usefulness of the method received even higher ratings. This study suggests that utilizing experimental methods as part of the chemistry curriculum can effectively enhance learning achievement and positive student attitudes towards the subject, particularly in first-year high school students.
