Examining the Relationship Between Financial Knowledge, Risk Tolerance, and Past Behavioural Bias on Investors Actual Investment Behavior
Authors: D. Yuvaraj , Venugopal Pulidindi 
Published: October 2023

Purpose: The present study aims to determine the factors influencing investment intention and actual investment behaviour in mutual funds. The study uses financial knowledge and risk tolerance as moderators and past behavioral bias as a mediator.

Theoretical framework: The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) appears to have become a very useful model for predicting various investing behaviours. Therefore, the present utilises the TPB model to analyse mutual fund investment behaviour.

Design/methodology/approach: The convenience sampling method was used to collect respondents from a population of 582 retail investors through questionnaire survey This research used partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) as the main method of data analysis using SmartPLS 4.

Findings: Attitude, financial knowledge, and risk tolerance emerged as the most important determinants of mutual fund investment intention. This highlights the significance of creating favorable conditions in terms of accessibility, which may encourage and ease the decision of investors to purchase mutual funds.

Research, Practical & Social implications: Marketers can explain how their mutual fund offerings would help both the market and investors. Marketers should prioritize proper communication about the benefits of mutual funds to investors, as communication is regarded as a critical tool for the success of mutual fund products.

Originality/value: To understand individual investors' intentions to engage in mutual funds, the impact of attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control on investor intentions and, actual investment behaviour were hypothesised and analysed, financial knowledge and risk tolerance functioning as moderators. Additionally, past behavioural bias is a mediator.
Skin Cancer Classification: A Transfer Learning Approach Using Inception-v3
Authors: Younus Al Badrani Yaarob , Mgharbel Abbas 
Published: October 2023

In the human body, the skin serves as the primary layer of defense for essential organs. However, as a result of ozone layer degradation, exposure to UV radiation, fungal and viral infections. Skin cancer is becoming more common.
This study proposes a novel deep learning-based framework for the multi-classification of eight different types of skin cancer. The suggested framework is divided into several steps. The initial phase is the data augmentation of images. In the second step, deep models are fine-tuned. The model is opted, for Inception-v3, and updated their layers. In the third step, The suggested model has been applied to train both fine-tuned on augmented datasets.
After optimization, the pre-trained model performs well for classifying skin tumors, with Inception-v3 having accuracy and an F-score of 81% and 81%, respectively.
Youth exposure to and usage of illicit drugs as an imperative in security discourse in Nigeria: Media`s role in curbing the menace of drug

Published: October 2023

Terrorism, armed robbery, ritual killings, and other sundry criminal acts have put Nigeria’s security under pressure. Insecurity is now a daily topic of discussion in all parts of the country. More disturbing is the fact that most perpetrators of criminal acts associated with insecurity are youth who abuse drugs. Yet, there seems to be a paucity of studies that probe some of the root causes of insecurity in Nigeria. This study, which relied on Social Learning Theory, measured the level of exposure youth have to illicit drugs via social media; established the relationship between illicit drugs consumption and crime/insecurity, and examined the role the media can play in curbing the consumption and/or use of illicit drugs. It used a quantitative research method. Three hundred twenty-two copies of a questionnaire were administered to students of Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro, Delta State, Nigeria selected through a simple sampling technique. Results showed some youth get to know about illicit drugs through social media. A correlation was also found between illicit drug consumption and insecurity. The media can help curb drug abuse by the youth through enlightenment campaigns, among others. The study concluded that the attainment of appreciable security in Nigeria may remain a mirage without adequately addressing the issue of drug abuse. Thus, it was recommended that the media should create more awareness about the negative implications of illicit drug use by the youth by pointing out the dangers associated with drug abuse.

Published: October 2023

Energy recovery elements play a major role in the efficiency and sustainability of building ventilation systems. The use of a sensible or total energy recovery ventilator is a key decision for ventilation systems designers. However, there is a lack of technical tools and developments to support this decision. This study develop a simple decision tool for designers based on hourly values of the outdoor weather conditions and that can be applied to any kind of building. The main outcome of the study is a simple-to-use isoline maps and tables. In order to assess credibility of the model used in the procedure, results published in the literature have been used as a reference showing good accordance. As an example, the procedure has been applied to the Spanish area considering 48 different locations. Results have been presented and discussed. The analysis of the results conclude that the market-accepted recommendation of using energy recovery ventilators in locations with high relative humidity during the summer should be reconsidered.
Los recuperadores de calor juegan un papel importante en la eficiencia y la sostenibilidad en el diseño de los sistemas de ventilación. El uso de un recuperador de calor sensible o entálpico es una decisión clave para los diseñadores de sistemas de ventilación. Sin embargo, hay una falta de herramientas, de fácil uso e interpretación, que sirvan para poder tomar esta decisión. Este estudio desarrolla una herramienta de decisión simple para los ingenieros basada en los valores hora a hora de las condiciones climáticas exteriores y que se puede aplicar a cualquier tipo de edificio. El resultado principal del estudio son una serie de mapas y tablas simples de interpretar. Con el fin de evaluar la credibilidad del modelo utilizado en el procedimiento, se han comparado los resultados obtenidos con otros resultados publicados. El estudio se centra en 48 localidades de ámbito español. El análisis de los resultados concluye que la recomendación aceptada en el mercado de usar recuperadores de calor de tipo entálpico en lugares con alta humedad relativa durante el verano debe ser reconsiderada.
Propuesta metodológica para la implantación del análisis de riesgo en las auditorías de eficiencia energética
Authors:   , Carrés Gonzàlez Jordi 
Published: October 2023

Energy audits have been, and are basically the study and analysis of energy flows in a building, process or system with the aim of knowing its behavior in order to find possibilities for energy improvement. It is primarily a quantitative analysis.

The following methodology establishes a qualitative process to find the best energy improvement options in an organization that, if possessing great technical knowledge, is capable of understanding what its situation is and how to improve its building, process or organization energy.

To see the possibility of adopting risk analysis in energy audits, we start from the basis that energy is an element of risk for the organization. So, can we consider energy as a vital risk for our organization? The answer is yes.

We will determine the adverse impact for the organization, as a result of the exploitation by a threat of a certain vulnerability, and the energy vulnerabilities will be determined in all the processes with which energy interacts in an organization that results in a model with 21 application modules to identify and assess risk in organizations.

The results and validation of the proposal have been proven in 208 audits in organizations of most business sectors.
This thesis is basically practical, so practical that it is currently the basis for conducting energy audits in Spain.
Las auditorías energéticas han sido, y son básicamente el estudio y análisis de los flujos de energía en un edificio, proceso o sistema con el objetivo de conocer su comportamiento para encontrar unas posibilidades de mejora energética. Es principalmente un análisis cuantitativo.
La siguiente metodología establece un proceso cualitativo para encontrar las mejores opciones de mejora energética en una organización que si poseer grandes conocimientos técnicos, sea capaz de entender cuál es su situación y cómo mejorar energéticamente su edificio, proceso u organización.
Para ver la posibilidad de adoptar el análisis de riesgo en las auditorías energéticas vamos a partir de la base que la energía es un elemento de riesgo para la organización. ¿Entonces, podemos considerar la energía como un riesgo vital para nuestra organización? La respuesta es sí.
Determinaremos el impacto adverso para la organización, como resultado de la explotación por parte de una amenaza de una determinada vulnerabilidad, y se determinarán las vulnerabilidades energéticas en todos los procesos con los que la energía interacciona en una organización que da como resultado un modelo con 21 módulos de aplicación para identificar y valorar el riesgo en las organizaciones.
Los resultados y validación de la propuesta han sido probados en 208 auditorías en organizaciones de la mayoría de sectores empresariales.

The Relationship between Leadership Culture and Cynicism in the Businesses of the Future
Authors: İnal İbrahim Haşim 
Published: October 2023

Under the influence of globalization and technological developments, changes have started to occur in the way businesses do business and processes have started to become digitized. Accordingly, organizational cultures are also evolving from analog cultures to digital cultures. The role of leaders in the digital transformation process in enterprises is also becoming more important. On the one hand, leaders should be responsible for the most accurate execution of the digital transformation process, and on the other hand, they should contribute employees to the understand and support this transformation.
In the enterprises of the future, leaders should have the ability to be agile, communication-oriented, have digital literacy, people-oriented, manage change and do strategic planning. This is an important element not only in terms of the digital transformation process, but also in terms of preventing negative feelings that employees may develop towards the business for reasons such as workload, negative organizational climate, uncertainty, and change process. The negative feelings and attitudes that employees create towards the business are called cynicism. Cynicism has become an important topic of organizational behavior and business management in recent years due to the consequences it affects. Leadership and organizational culture are important factors in terms of preventing cynicism. For this reason, it is important for enterprises to prevent cynicism in the process of preparing for the future in order to increase employee support and loyalty. In this book, the importance of leadership and the relationships between the concept of cynicism and the concept of leadership in the process of preparing enterprises for the future are discussed within the framework of organizational culture. The effect of the preferred leadership styles on cynicism depending on the culture of the organization has been evaluated and suggestions for the future in terms of business management have been included. It is thought that this book will make a positive contribution to the literature for academics, managers, human resources professionals and students who are trying to understand the relationship between leadership and cynicism.

Authors: He Ze-Rong , Zhou Nan 
Published: October 2023

This article concerns the approximate controllability of a biological system, which is composed of two hierarchical age-structured competing species. Basing on a controllability result of linear system, we prove that the nonlinear system is approximately controllable by means of a fixed point theorem for multi-valued mappings. To fix a suitable control policy, we deal with an optimal control problem and established the existence of the unique optimal strategy. In addition, the stabilization problem of the system is also considered.

AGRONEGÓCIO E AGROTÓXICO:
Authors: Correa Paulo , Oliveira Macedo Cátia , Rocha Leão João Victor 
Published: October 2023

Agronegócio e agrotóxico apresentam-se como pares inseparáveis, sinistros de um mesmo processo que avança sobre os territórios campesinos, tentando imputar-lhes uma nova forma de ser e de viver na terra. É sob esta perspectiva que nos propomos discutir as implicações do avanço do agrotóxico/agronegócio na agricultura do nordeste do Pará nos anos de2020 e 2021. Para tanto, nos indagamos: Como o uso do agrotóxico derivado da expansão do agronegócio impacta o modo de vida nos territórios campesinos dessa região da Amazônia? Na pesquisa utilizamos trabalho de campo- ocorrido apenas no segundo semestre de 2021, em decorrência da pandemia da COVID- quando realizamos entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Além disso, levantamos dados secundários, através de textos e relatórios científicos. Constatamos que o agronegócio e o agrotóxico se impõem a esses territórios obstando o direito ao comum, como a terra, a água e a floresta, posto que os agrotóxicos são, ao fim e ao cabo uma tecnologia fundamental para a continuidade do projeto do agronegócio. Porém, ao mesmo tempo em que se impõe o território do agro, os camponeses politizam suas ações reforçando suas estratégias de luta, seja através de ações diretas de confronto, seja através de ações judiciais, dentre outras. Nosso propósito é contribuir com o debate acerca das transformações ocorridas no campo paraense, visibilizando as disputas, e o potencial de resistência camponesa.
