Authors: Streimikiene Dalia , Kyriakopoulos Grigorios L. , Ślusarczyk Beata , Stankuniene Gintare 
Published: November 2023

Recently, governmental subsidies have led to increased renewable energy adoption and household CO2 emissions reduction. However, energy efficiency improvement and greenhouse gas emission reduction potential in households’ sector are not yet fully realized. Decision-making by individuals is also a crucial factor in adopting energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies, which is why this study analyses some important behavioral change-linked issues. This study also focuses on various policies and measures to achieve energy efficiency improvements in households, such as use of renewable energy sources, renovation of residential buildings, use of energy efficient appliances etc. The methodology of the study contains a bibliometric analysis in the field of energy efficiency at households, covering the years of publication 2010-2023 and organizing all documents into 9 classifications. Among them 6 classifications have been further considered: Citation analysis; Authors’ networks; High impact journals of publishing; Knowledge mapping of co-authorship collaboration among institutions; Co-authorship among countries; Keywords concurrence analysis. Following a systematic literature review the bibliometric findings reveal the steady increase of literature production in the field of energy efficiency at households, showing also the pivotal role of institutions among developed and industrialized economies. Moreover, there is a densely and steadily growing network of keywords reported, implying the thematic expansion of this topic from the modelling-pilot scales towards the real world and in field applications. Finally, identified research constraints of energy efficiency improvement are that of: high costs, lack of information and knowledge, low priority to environmental and climate change mitigation concerns, and resistance to behavioral change.
Influence of Cultural Socio-Economic Factors on K.C.S.E Examination Performance in Public Secondary Schools: A Case If Lamu West Sub County, Lamu County, Kenya
Authors: Kisaka Joseph N. 
Published: November 2023

The measure of success in many countries is measured by the Academic performance in national examinations like Kenya Certificate Secondary Education (K.C.S.E.) which is a national examination in Kenya. This study endeavoured to establish the influence of selected cultural factors on the academic performance of students in Lamu West Sub-County in Lamu County in Kenya. The study was carried out in Lamu West Sub-County which has persistently registered low academic performance in national examinations. The cultural factors leading to this poor performance in Lamu Sub-County had not been adequately addressed. The study was guided by the following objectives; to establish the types of cultural factors that influence academic performance in Lamu West Sub-County and the influence of cultural factors on K.C.S.E. academic performance in Lamu West Sub-County. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The target population comprised of teachers, and Board of Management (B.O.M.) parents. The sample size was 144 teachers and 48 B.O.M parents. The collection of data was by use of questionnaires and interviews. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the quantitative data while qualitative was analysed through content analysis. The findings were presented by use of frequency distribution tables and percentages. The results showed that cultural factors influenced the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) national examination in Lamu Sub-County. Interviews from B.O.M parents also provided data to show how these cultural factors influenced KCSE academic performance. Based on the findings, the study established that early pregnancies, gender stereotypes, early marriages as well as the frequent religious cultural practices influenced KCSE academic performance in Lamu West Sub-County. Among the recommendations was that parents should take an active role in advising their children about the importance of education, and also the government should take stern measures against out-dated cultures like early marriages which should be banned.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The omni-channel strategy, which presents a continuous purchasing experience to consumers and which provides the full integration of different channels, promises the consumers an effortless, simple, and issueless buying process. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the consumer-preferred omni-channel implementations in clothing sector. At the same time, it also aimed to make suggestions, which are based on consumer desires, to clothing producers and marketers in the light of the obtained findings. An online survey is conducted to volunteer Turkish citizens, who are at the age of 18 or elder and who are the residents of Türkiye, in order to be able to obtain the data, which are used within the scope of this study. The relationships between omni-channel implementations are analyzed using statistical methods, such as exploratory factor analysis, t-test, and analysis of variance, on the basis of clothing sector. According to the obtained study results, Turkish consumers give great importance to omni-channel strategy and its elements. More specifically, they give great importance to the integration between physical and online channels, and they prefer a full information, customer services, and price integration between channels. The study results indicate that the consumers are aware of the advantages of omni-channel strategy and they demand these factors from enterprises, brands, and retailers. The study is detailed and comprehensive on the basis of both scope and used methods. All studies are designed on the basis of clothing sector, and all analyses and evaluations are actualized on this basis. In this context, this study differs and individuates from the other studies in the literature due to these aspects. This study both contributes to the deficiencies in sector’s marketing and retailing areas and to the fulfillment of gap within the literature.
Structural modeling and analysis of three-dimensional cross-linked braided preforms

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Rotary braiding is widely used in the preparation of high-performance fiber composites. However, neither conventional rotary two-dimensional braiding nor rotary three-dimensional braiding can prepare three-dimensional preforms with low porosity and dense surface yarns. This article designs a three-dimensional cross-linked braiding equipment, describes the mechanism of carrier motion of three-dimensional cross-linked braiding, and obtains a numerical model of three-dimensional cross-linked braided preforms by establishing the spatial coordinate system of the braided chassis and using cubic B-spline curve fitting. The reasons for the large difference between the numerical model of preform and the real fabric are analyzed, and an optimization algorithm is proposed to make the fabric compact by gathering the yarn to the center of the fabric. The experimental samples are braided on a three-dimensional cross-linked braiding machine, and the reliability of the optimization algorithm is verified by comparing the yarn coordinates of the experimental samples with those of the optimized numerical model. The accurate establishment of the geometric model of the preform provides a solid foundation for carrying out the prediction of the mechanical properties of composite materials.
Cross-modal iconicity in songs about weeping
Authors: Bonifazi Anna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The article explores cross-modal iconic relations in nine diverse Western-music songs ranging from 1600 to 2015, all of them thematizing dysphoric weeping. Initial input comes from five recurrent features observed in ancient Greek texts associated with performative events, including the prominence of sound, interjections and strong self-referentiality, repetitions and refrains, the motif of endlessness, and tears associated with streams of water, dew, and libation liquids. The analysis adopts Peirce’s conceptual distinction between image, diagram, and metaphor iconicity, although the continuum reading proposed by several scholars is ultimately favored. The sample turns out to offer plenty of evidence of iconic relations. Interjections, falsetto, verbal repetitions, musical repetitions, musical rendering of sighs and endlessness, ostinato patterns, downward notes, and water images (rain and rivers), all of this is shown to substantiate cross-modal iconicity encompassing weeping, lyrics, music (including musical notation), and images, in different combinations. Quantitative investigations confirming/disconfirming and adding iconicity patterns, and comparative analyses linking Western and non-Western lament traditions constitute desiderata for future work.

Authors: Martens Max 
Published: November 2023

Zusammenfassung
Der Artikel analysiert die Entstehungsgeschichte der Privat-Sparkasse zu Lerbach hinsichtlich der Verwirklichung genossenschaftlicher Prinzipien. Er untersucht damit, inwiefern die Privat-Sparkasse der Bezeichnung als "älteste genossenschaftliche Kreditorganisation" gerecht wird. Dazu zeichnet er die Entstehungsgeschichte der Privat-Sparkasse im Kontext der örtlichen und regionalen Besonderheiten im Oberharz nach und ordnet die Organisationsform der Privat-Sparkasse in die Entwicklungsgeschichte moderner Genossenschaften ein. Entscheidend für die Entstehung der Privat-Sparkasse zu Lerbach ist die 1770 vor Ort gegründete Sterbekasse sowie die 1783 gegründete "Begräbnis-Societät zu Lerbach". Die Privat-Sparkasse selbst wird 1825 gegründet. Der Artikel folgt ihrer Entwicklung bis zu ihrer Umwandlung in eine eGmbH im Jahr 1900.
Напрями імплементації зарубіжного досвіду з розвитку електронного врядування в сфері публічного управління в Україні
Authors: Юсіфбейлі Рашид 
Published: November 2023

В статті запропоновано розглянути тенденції розвитку е-урядування на прикладі держав, в яких вони набувають різне переломлення в силу політичної та культурної специфіки. Подібний підхід дозволяє простежити вплив національних особливостей на використання ІКТ в державному секторі, а також врахувати соціально-політичний контекст. Для вирішення зазначених завдань бажано розглянути розвиток практик електронного урядування в США, Китаї, Кореї та Австралії в контексті їх імплементації в Україні. За дослідженнями автора Сполучені Штати Америки виступили одними із перших у розвитку електронного урядування, в яких вперше був запропонований та введений в офіційне вживання віце-президентом США А. Гором термін «електронне врядування», що набув світового значення.
Щодо першості Сполучених Штатів Америки в електронному врядуванні в державному секторі підтверджують результати опитуванням Інституту електронного управління при університеті Васеда в Токіо. На їх думку «США посідають перше місце серед найбільших країн у розвитку електронного урядування. Політика ІКТ у державному секторі США зосередила зусилля на наданні якісних послуг населенню та підвищенні продуктивності та ефективності користувачів ІКТ».
Саме такі дослідження мотивували автора статті визначити позитивні сторони США з розвитку електронного врядування в сфері публічного управління та можливі напрями імплементації їх досвіду в Україні.
Особливу увагу автор статті приділяє Стратегії цифрового урядування у США, яка заснована на трирівневій моделі організації: інформаційний рівень, рівень платформ, презентаційний рівень. Також автор визначає, що серед особливостей американської моделі електронного урядування функціонують чотири принципи цифрового уряду, які забезпечують реалізацію Стратегії, зокрема - інформаційно-орієнтований підхід, принцип загальної платформи, принцип, орієнтований на користувача, принцип безпеки та конфіденційності.
В статті також виокремлено існуючі недоліки в сфері розвитку електронного врядування в США, з метою їх подальшої мінімізації в Україні.
The (Un)Expected Gift

Published: November 2023

Receiving an organ is an event that marks a turning point in the patient’s life trajectory, not only because it marks the beginning of a new phase in the therapeutic process, but also because it opens up an unprecedented existential perspective in the recipient. This perspective is typically told through an autobiographical narrative marked by an implicitly religious or spiritual vocabulary centred on the feeling of rebirth and the sacredness of organ donation. Starting from the analysis of a corpus of qualitative interviews, the article aims to show the spirituality implicit in the autobiographical narratives of a group of members of the Associazione Nazionale Emo-Dializzati (ANED) of Turin (Italy). The data indicate that this implicit dimension is the product of a co-construction between patients and health workers in the context of the specific organizational culture of the hospital ward. This finding suggests possible directions for the implementation of spiritual care interventions in clinical practice.

Intralesional excision or curettage is commonly used to treat benign and low-grade malignant bone tumors. The resulting defect can be treated with a variety of materials, such as autologous bone grafts, allografts, or synthetic materials like polymethylmethacrylate or composite alternatives. Because it is osteogenic, osteoinductive, and osteoconductive, autologous cancellous bone is often considered the gold standard of transplant material. However, issues including transplant size limitations, wound-related complications, and prolonged donor site pain have limited its usage in clinical practice. Concerns about immunogenicity and infection have also hampered the use of demineralized freeze-dried allografts and xenografts. As a result, synthetic materials have sparked substantial interest in orthopedics, and a variety of bone graft alternatives are now commercially accessible.
South Africa’s interest rate behaviour: Investigating the influence of the indicators of financial openness

Published: November 2023

This study seeks to investigate the influence of financial openness variables on South Africa’s interest rate during the period between1980-2020. The study used both Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Philip-Perron (PP) tests to determine the order of integration of the variables, while the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds test was used to investigate both the short and long-run impact of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The findings of the study revealed that in the short-run both foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and FDI outflows impacted the interest rate positively. However, portfolio investment, exchange rate and capital account openness did not have any significant impact on interest rate within the duration of this research. The long-run results revealed that FDI inflows had a positive and significant impact on interest rate. Also, while capital account openness had a significant and positive impact on the interest rate, FDI outflows, portfolio investment, and the exchange rate had no significant impact on interest rate. The study concludes that apart from portfolio investment which did not exert significant impact on interest rate, other financial openness indicators used in the study had a significant impact on South Africa’s domestic interest rate. The paper argues that, appropriate monetary policy measures targeted to lessen the monetary impact of excess capital inflows should be considered. Additionally, capital account liberalization policy should be encouraged, but it needs to be regulated if it places an excessive amount of liquidity pressure on the economy.

Published: November 2023

Creative thinking skill menjadi suatu hal yang penting pada pembelajaran IPA untuk menghadapi tuntutan abad ke-21. Faktanya keterampilan peserta didik dalam keterampilan berpikir kreatif masih rendah. Rendahnya creative thinking skill salah satunya disebabkan oleh perangkat pembelajaran yang digunakan belum dapat membuat siswa untuk berpikir secara kreatif. Pengembangan E-LKPD berbasis liveworksheet ini mengacu pada penelitian yang telah dilaksanakan oleh Simanjuntak (2021) yang menunjukkan bahwa siswa terlihat lebih aktif dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran dan sebagian sudah dapat mengungkapkan gagasan, sehingga mampu meningkatkan creative thinking skillnya. Meskipun E-LKPD berbasis liveworksheet sudah diteliti berpengaruh dalam meningkatkan creative thinking skill peserta didik, namun belum terdapat penelitian yang membahas keefektifan E-LKPD berbasis liveworksheet pada pembelajaran IPA. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kevalidan, kepraktisan dan keefektifan pengembangan E-LKPD menggunakan website liveworksheet. Kegiatan penelitian dilakukan di SMPN 1 Jember pada siswa kelas VII I dengan, metode yang digunakan adalah R&D yang merujuk dengan model ADDIE.. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan media yang dikembangkan telah memenuhi kriteria sebagai berikut: (1) sangat valid berdasarkan uji kelayakan oleh kelompok ahli yang mendapatkan presentase rata-rata sebesar 88%; (2) Praktis, berdasarkan lembar keterlaksanaan yang disi oleh tiga observer yang mendapatkan presentase rata-rata sebesar 90%; (3) peningkatan keterampilan berpikir kreatif memperoleh nilai N-gain sebesar 0,72 dengan kriteria tinggi dan angket respon yang diperoleh sebesar 87%.
