Sustainable Development in GCC (Do Logistics Indicators Matter?)
Authors: Salem Milad Abdelnabi , Alshawtari Fekri Ali , Shatila Alina 
Published: January 2024

Objective: Although logistics practices could contribute a lot to countries’ economic and ecological factors, there is still a need to know which logistics practices could contribute to specific ecological domains. Previous studies in many cases have limited their investigation either to a specific environmental indicator, such as CO2, or to a specific region. This study opts to close the gaps of previous studies by investigating the impacts of logistics aspects on the environmental variables in Gulf countries and expanding the focus of the tested environmental domain to include energy consumption as an additional variable to CO2.

Methods: The study adopted a panel data approach, which uses both cross-sectional and time series approaches together. The panel approach includes more data coverage, reduces the variables’ internal correlations, and provides a more efficient model with high freedom degrees. The logistics performance data has been derived from LPI, which was published by the World Bank in 2007. At the time of writing this paper, the index covers data from 2007 to 2023. Although LPI data are available from 2007 to 2023, the CO2 and energy consumption were only available until 2020.

Results: The results indicated that different logistics indicators have different impacts on ecological issues. The results revealed that only infrastructure and customs logistics indicators have significant effects on CO2 emission and energy consumption in the GCC.

Conclusions: This study recommends that decision-makers should consider the environmental consequences of engaging in logistics practices. Although the improvements in logistics indicators will lead to facilitating the movements of goods internally and externally, caution should be taken with regard to harm it may cause to the environment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze in a comprehensive way the relationship between the business and the factors of government, money, business environment, and information technology.

Theoretical framework: Sustainable entrepreneurship is crucial to achieving the SDGs, not just in terms of economic growth but also in terms of achieving social and environmental goals.

Design/methodology/approach: This study employs a quantitative approach, with the population under investigation consisting of all micro and small businesses in Parepare, Indonesia, or 1000 units of businesses. and collect data by using the probability sample method with the basic random sampling technique on 286 business owners. The data collection technique employs a previously developed angket penelitian based on research variable indicators that have been validated and shown to be reliable. Method of data analysis using SEM Amos 21.

Result and Conclusion: The study's findings indicate that: (1) Government support—including funding, infrastructure provision, partnerships, business information, and business licensing—greatly influences sustainable entrepreneurship; (2) Financial factors—particularly those derived from personal funds and bank credit—are more significant in determining sustainable entrepreneurship; (3) the business environment, which is influenced by raw material availability, labor availability, business competition, and transportation—greatly influences sustainable entrepreneurship; and (4) the use of information technology in business management—greatly influences sustainable entrepreneurship.

Research implication: The findings of this study have the potential to increase understanding in the field of entrepreneurship, particularly in relation to the factors that contribute to small-scale and sustainable entrepreneurship. They can also serve as a resource for scholars who will be researching related issues and the government when formulating policies aimed at fostering the growth of SMEs.
Originality/value: This analysis focuses on sustainable entrepreneurship, even though it has already been conducted in developing countries. However, there aren't many studies that analyze the complex relationship between sustainable entrepreneurship and the factors that influence it, such as the government, the economy, the business environment, and information technology.

A Double Truncated Binomial Model to Assess Psychiatric Health through Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale: When is Intervention Useful?
Authors: Sabharwal Alka , Goyal Babita , Singh Vinit 
Published: January 2024

A double truncated binomial distribution model with ‘u’ classes truncated on left and ‘v’ classes truncated on right is introduced. Its characteristics, namely, generating functions; and the measures of skewness and kurtosis have been obtained. The unknown parameter has been estimated using the method of maximum likelihood and the method of moments. The confidence interval of the estimate has been obtained through Fisher’s information matrix.
The model is applied on cross sectional data obtained through Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) administered on a group of school going adolescent students; and the above-mentioned characteristics have been evaluated. An expert, on the basis of the BPRS score values, suggested an intervention program. The BPRS scores of the students who could be administered the intervention program lied in a range (which was above the lowest and below the highest possible values) suggested by the expert. Whereas the complete data suggested the average number of problem areas is four (which was not in consonance with the observations given by the expert), the double truncated model suggested the number of such areas as five which was consistent with the observations made by the expert. This establishes the usefulness of double truncated models in such scenarios.
El fandango de Herrera: su relación con el zángano de Puente Genil y posible origen del atribuido a Pérez de Guzmán
Authors: Arjona Díaz Salvador 
Published: January 2024

In the town of Herrera (Sevilla), there was news of a local fandango, practically forgotten, which, it was suspected, could bear similarities with the one known as “zángano de Puente Genil”, a neighboring town with which he shared this type of dance when both songs were still considered folkloric fandangos. Nearby locality it shared this genre of dances with, when they still were folcloric fandangos. The only cantaor who remembered him was Pedro de la Timotea who, fortunately, recorded it on a home recording. Analyzed in detail, it is found that its melody coincides to a great extent with that of the fandango attributed to José Pérez de Guzmán, which raises the hypothesis that he was based on the melody of the fandango from Herrereño to create his own.
En la localidad sevillana de Herrera se tenían noticias de un fandango local, ya prácticamente olvidado, el cual, se sospechaba, pudiera guardar similitudes con el conocido como ``zángano de Puente Genil'', localidad vecina con la que compartió este tipo de bailes, cuyos cantes eran todavía fandangos de naturaleza folclórica. El único cantaor que lo recordaba era Pedro de la Timotea que, por fortuna, lo dejó registrado en una grabación casera. Analizada en detalle, se comprueba que su melodía coincide en gran medida con la del fandango atribuido a José Pérez de Guzmán, lo que plantea la hipótesis de que este se hubiera basado en la melodía del fandango herrereño para crear el suyo.
El tacto como acto cinematográfico: Lo sguardo di Michelangelo Antonioni / Touch as a Cinematographic Experience: Lo sguardo di Michelangelo Antonioni
Authors: Martínez Ramírez Lola 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT: Contrary to the affirmations of almost all of the previous studies on the Italian maestro Michelangelo Antonioni –full of adjectives on emptying, isolation, absence, alienation, among many others–, the presence of the body and touch is a true constant in the work of the Italian cinematographer. This article traces the persistent presence of the body in all of Antonioni’s filmography and formulates a reading of his entire corpus of work leading up to his latest film, Lo Sguardo di Michelangelo (2004), an interpretation that runs contrary to all previous research. With a focus on the latest work of the Italian filmmaker, this article studies touch in the history of cinematographic aesthetics and proposes the possibility of touch as a cinematographic experience.
KEYWORDSTouch; Body; Cinema; Limit; Antonioni.
RESUMEN: Contrariamente a las afirmaciones de casi la totalidad de las investigaciones sobre el maestro italiano Michelangelo Antonioni –colmadas de adjetivos sobre el vaciamiento, incomunicación, ausencia, alienación, entre muchos otros–, la presencia del cuerpo y del tocar es una verdadera constante en la obra del cineasta italiano. Esta investigación traza una línea de persistencia del cuerpo en la imagen que formula la lectura contraria de todo su corpus fílmico y derivan en su última obra: Lo Sguardo di Michelangelo (2004). A través de esta última obra del cineasta italiano, se estudiará el tacto en la historia de la estética cinematográfica y se propondrá la posibilidad del tacto como acto cinematográfico.

Background: Skimmia laureola owned by the Rutaceae family is one of the plants that might use the Indian traditional treatment system in the Indian subcontinent and act against many diseases. So, this new research was carried out to scientifically confirm the various solvent fractions and separate the active fraction from the plant against antioxidants and bacterial and microbial growth.
Objectives: The main objective of the study involves the Phytochemical screening and research of invitro activities i.e. antioxidant and antibacterial from the extracts of the leaves part of the Skimmia laureola plant.
Methods: Phytochemical screening was carried out of various extracts by the tests that involved it. Invitro antibacterial and antioxidant activities were examined of the plant extract through various methods DPPH, Metal chelating activity, Reducing power ability, Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity, and Nitric oxide scavenging activity. After completion of the research, all the activity is shown graphically.
Results: Invitro antioxidant activity shows that methanolic extract shows more antioxidant activity than other extracts. The antibacterial investigations show that the ethanolic extract of the plant removal was very compelling for bacterias Streptococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli at 25 μg/ml, 50 μg/ml, 75 μg/ml, 100 μg/ml, 200 μg/ml and 300 μg/ml individually.
Conclusion: Auxiliary metabolites (phenol, flavonoid, tannin, and content) have been quantified. In antioxidant tests such as DPPH activity, the methanolic extract of the plant outperforms other extracts such as chloroform, petroleum ether, ethanol, and aqueous extract. The antibacterial investigations show that the ethanolic extract of the plant removed was very compelling for bacterias Streptococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and E.coli. The current study may be useful in improving data regarding its distinguishing proof boundaries expected primarily in the method of the adequacy of homegrown medications in the current situation lacking administrative laws to control the nature of natural medications, as well as discovering antioxidants and antibacterial action.

Published: January 2024

Aim: Starch is the main carbohydrate store for numerous crops and each crop has distinct and unique characteristics. This study was aimed at investigating the physicochemical composition, functional properties and morphological characteristics of starch extracted from defatted Conophor seed flour.
Place and Duration: Food Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Food Science and Technology, and Biochemistry Laboratory of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, from March 2023 to September 2023.
Methodology: Conophor seeds were washed, shelled manually, oven dried, milled into coarse flour and then defatted using solvent extraction method with the use of a soxhlet extractor. The defatted flour was air dried and grounded into fine powder. Starch was extracted by sedimentation at pH 11.0 and then oven dried and grounded into powder. The physicochemical composition, functional properties and morphological characteristics of Conophor starch were studied.
Results: The physicochemical study shows that Conophor starch was abundant in carbohydrate (77.26%) but had a low protein (4.46%), fat (1.99%) and fibre (1.20%) content. Mineral content of the starch were high with calcium (194.17mg/g), copper (0.05mg/g), manganese (0.42mg/g), magnesium (4.26mg/g), iron (0.34mg/g), zinc (1.59mg/g), phosphorus (26.1mg/g), sodium (23.20mg/g) and potassium (37.13mg/g). The functional property of Conophor starch showed a high water absorption capacity (513.33%), oil absorption capacity (347.57%), emulsion capacity (45.48%), emulsion stability (50.00%), swelling index (246.67%), gelation capacity (12.00m/v) and low foaming capacity (12.69%) and foaming stability (3.26%). Conophor starch had a low pasting property with peak viscosity (14.00 RVU), final viscosity (16.00 RVU) and set-back viscosity (4.00 RVU).
Conclusion: The study showed Conophor starch to be a rich source of mineral which makes it suitable for use as a supplement and its functional property makes it capable to be used in some industrial processes. However, the low paste quality of the starch renders it unsuitable for use in food processes that requires high paste formation but may be considered suitable for use in non- food related industries.
Use of Chemotaxonomy To Study the Influence of Benzalkonium Chloride on Bacterial Populations in Biodegradation Testing
Authors: Kümmerer Klaus , Al‐Ahmad Ali , Henninger Almut 
Published: January 2003

AbstractContradictory results are reported for the behaviour of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) in sewage treatment plants (STPs). QACs may sorb onto activated sludge. Only little information is available with respect to effects of QACs against bacteria in STPs. Only 5 to 15 % of bacteria present in sewage sludge can be detected by means of culture dependent microbiological methods. The shift of the bacterial populations due to effects of test compounds have not been studied up to now with culture independent methods. The microbial populations shift was studied in situ using culture independent chemotaxonomy profiling ubiquinones and polyamines. Additionally, toxic effects of QACs against bacteria present in the test vessels of the Zahn‐Wellens test (OECD 302 B) were assessed with a toxicity control in the test. The ubiquinone profiles representing changes in Gram‐negative populations mainly showed that the activated sludge was affected only in test vessels containing benzalkonium chloride. According to chemotaxonomy Acinetobacter or/and some members of Pseudomonas spp. have been selected by benzalkonium chloride after some adaptation period (8 to 12 days).
