Exploring Patient, Physician, and Pharmacist Perspectives on the Substitution of Branded Medications with Generics in Community Pharmacies: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Pereanu Andreea 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper evaluates the influence of a number of factors taken into account when a branded drug is replaced by a generic. It also assesses the responses of healthcare professionals - doctors and pharmacists -and patients on the issue of replacing the two classes of medicines. We compared their responses to identify new points of cooperation for the desired benefit of the patient. Thus, we extracted information from all three groups, consisting of 10 doctors, 10 pharmacists and 50 patients. We gathered information on age, residence, income level and education level for patients, as well as age and experience of specialists. Based on the survey responses, replacing the original drug with a generic one raises many issues, such as lack of information for the patient and specialist, lack of collaboration between doctor and pharmacist, ineffective communication between specialist and patient, and the influence of the general problem related to profit.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The paper is theoretical and empirical. Its basic purpose is to examine the resilience of organizational startups during the post-COVID-19 pandemic. The basic research method used in the study was CAWI. The group of surveyed companies consisted of startups operating in Zachodniopomorskie, Wielkopolskie, and Lubuskie voivodeships. The survey covered 62 enterprises in 2022. The research revealed that owing to their organizational resilience the startups were able to adapt to the changes in the market. Thus, on the one hand, they were able to quickly tailor their offer to the current needs of customers, and on the other hand, they could modify the processes taking place inside the company. As a result of these measures, the startups increased their revenues, which may directly determine the future competitiveness of the surveyed companies.

Authors: Tuo Biyang , Shi Xiulong , Tian Jinwang , Wang Jianli 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
To broaden the light response range of TiO2 and improve its photocatalytic activity, BiOCl/TiO2/MMT composite materials (BTMC) with outstanding photocatalytic performance were prepared by the sol-gel method with montmorillonite (MMT) as the supporting material, tetrabutyl titanate as titanium source and, bismuth nitrate pentahydrate as the bismuth source. The properties of the prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), surface and porosity analysis (BET), scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). When the Bi/Ti molar ratio was 20%, the composite material exhibited a slit mesoporous structure, and its specific surface area was 109.02 m2/g, with optimum photocatalytic activity. TiO2 and BiOCl formed the type-II heterojunction on the surface of MMT, which facilitates the transfer of photogenerated electrons and holes, thus enhancing the photocatalytic activity of BTMC-20. The results of this study indicated that BTMC-20 is a promising photocatalytic composite material and has better photocatalytic properties under visible light.

Abstract
The paper considers scientific principles of technological procedure development for the selection and assignment of parameters of velocity machining by blade tool at gear milling with due regard to the required parameters of the gear surface layer. Optimum micro-cutting conditions are determined when full participation in stock removal of all mill teeth is provided. Technological regulation of selection and setting of machining parameters is spread for gear hobbing of the spur gear wheels with fine-modular and coarse-modular hardness (220...320 HV) and after heat treatment (HRC46...63). Correlation with essential parameters of the surface layer, cutting depth, feed, speed and radius of rounding of the cutting edge of milling cutters’ teeth is established. It is scientifically grounded, tested, and proved at what modes of cutting, the radius of rounding of cutting edge of the cutting tool is made metal removal at oncoming and passing high-speed micro milling. The process of determining of minimal sliding angle, or maximum value (without the use of coolant and with coolant), in which there is no micro-cutting process taking into account variation of variable parameters of cutting conditions and geometrical parameters of hobbing cutters is modelled. For the first time, we ascertained the relation between the sliding angle and the maximum contact angle of the mill tooth with the work surface, which allowed determine the efficiency of the shaping process through coefficient (without coolant and with coolant).

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Cytoskeletal mechanics is a field that heavily relies on mathematical models to interpret experimental data related to forces and deformations. In this paper, we present a novel mathematical model designed specifically for analysing the mechanical properties of liposomes, which serve as model systems for studying biological membranes. Our model takes into account various factors such as stretching, bending, and contact adhesion during atomic force microscopy (AFM) indentation using a spherical tip. By applying our model to liposomes, we demonstrate that these structures exhibit nonlinear behaviour characterized by low stiffness at small deformations. Furthermore, we find that the mechanical response of liposomes is influenced by their size. Additionally, we observe that the presence of adhesion energy contributes to the generation of negative tip forces upon initial contact.
Deindustrialization and the Real-Estate– Development–Driven Housing Regime. The Case of Romania in Global Context
Authors: Vincze Enikő 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The article examines how deindustrialization as economic restructuring and housing regime changes evolved interconnectedly in Romania during the Great Transformation from state socialism to neoliberal capitalism. This article also explores how they acted as conditions for the emergence of a real-estate-development-driven housing regime (REDD-HR) alongside other factors. The analysis is from the perspective of the geographical political economy on the variegated pathways of these phenomena across borders and secondary statistical data collected by two research projects conducted in Romania in the past two years. In the Eastern semiperiphery of global capitalism or a country of the Global Easts with a socialist legacy, after 1990, the state restructured the economy by privatizing industry and public housing. During state socialism, the housing regime supported industrialization-based urbanization, whereas deindustrialization-cumprivatization in emerging capitalism facilitated the appearance of real estate development. On the one hand, the article enriches studies on deindustrialization by highlighting the role of housing in the transformation of industrial relations; on the other hand, the paper revisits housing studies by analyzing deindustrialization as a process with an impact on the changing housing regime. Altogether, deindustrialization-cum-privatization and the changing housing sector are analyzed as prerequisites of the REDD-HR.

Abstract
In recent years, access to German research data on labour markets and social insurances has improved substantially. Nevertheless, reforms are urgently needed to catch up with other countries. Among the most important measures, the German government should legalise the merging of information from heterogeneous data sources for research, make more register available for research, harmonise the handling of data protection, and make remote desktop data accessible more broadly. Research data availability is essential for a functioning and informed democracy that aims to use its resources wisely and to learn from experience.
Unternehmensinsolvenzen in Deutschland
Authors: Müller Steffen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Corporate bankruptcy in Germany has been on a long-run decline. Even before the recent double crisis of the pandemic and multiple cost shocks, bankruptcy figures were one-third lower than around the turn of the century but were larger and affected more mature firms. With the onset of the double crisis, bankruptcies plummeted further while the number of affected jobs rose initially. Government rescue programmes hindered the exit of many small unproductive firms. Since mid-2023, bankruptcies of registered firms are higher than before the pandemic. Due to the current recession and the need to repay government support, the number of bankruptcies will rise until the end of 2023 and likely beyond.

Published: November 2023

Objective: To evaluate the dry mass production of coverings and the productivity of corn and soybeans grown in succession.

Method/design/approach: In a randomized block design, with subdivided plots, four covers were evaluated: Sunn hemp, Pearl millet, Signal grass and fallow; at two times of the year: spring and autumn/winter, with 4 repetitions. After cover management, the plots were subdivided, then corn and soybeans were sown on the residues of these plants. The dry mass production of the coverings and the productivity of corn and soybeans in each harvest were evaluated.

Result and conclusion: Pearl millet and Sunn hemp were the covers with the highest dry mass production, with Sunn hemp residues positively influencing the production of corn grown in succession and none of the plants used affected soybean production. Corn and soybean production increased as the system stages evolved until reaching the consolidation stage.

Research implications: the study proves that residues from different coverings that are used in rotation with corn can affect its productivity, especially when the covering comes from a Fabacea, as there is more nitrogen available in the soil in these areas, which come from of biological fixation carried out by these plants, while the same does not happen with soybeans.

Originality/value: The search for maintaining or increasing crop production using a more conservationist management system in the cerrado is a constant, a condition that is achieved when the appropriate cover plant is chosen.
Investigating the Effect of Gold Leading and Lagging Relative to the Stock and Housing Market, Considering the Effect of Macroeconomic Variables
Authors: Hosein Badiee  , Nastaran Sttari Khadem  
Published: November 2023

Purpose: This research examines the existence of the lead-lag effect in the gold markets compared to the stock and housing markets, taking into account the effect of macroeconomic variables. In emerging and relatively inefficient markets, returns are not normally distributed and have a high sequential correlation with each other. Also, price changes are not independent and random and there is a certain trend and pattern in the behavior of prices that knowledge of these patterns is necessary to gain more benefits for capital. It helps investors. One of the patterns that can be investigated in addition to market inefficiency is to investigate the existence of the lead-lag effect.
Method: In this research, the Lead-Lag model was analyzed using the VAR test and the LRSM test for long-term data during the years 1390 to 1401 on a monthly basis.
Findings: Financial stress shows that the inflation rate is a weak shelter for shareholders. Meanwhile, regarding whether gold is a hedge instrument against inflation, our result was able to prove this feature, which means that investing in gold is a reliable hedge. Here, the inflation rate lags behind gold and is obviously a good hedge against inflation. This paper shows that inflation shocks lead to a negative reaction to gold prices in the long run. In the short run, only gold price fluctuations affect inflation, and this causality is one-way.
Conclusion: From these findings, it can be concluded that the most exogenous variable, gold, followed by oil and the dollar, can be interpreted as the primary receivers of exogenous shocks, while housing prices, stocks, and the inflation rate seem to bear the burden of short-term adjustment endogenously, rather than the system return to its long-term state. The results show that gold is the most exogenous variable, while the inflation rate is the least endogenous variable. According to the research, it shows that the inflation rate cannot protect against changes in the price of gold.
Dialectics of Patriotism in Niyi Osundare’s ‘A Villager’s Protest’ and Tanure Ojaide’s ‘Kings of Fools’

Published: November 2023

The alliance between poetry and politics has never been cornucopian; contestable intruding from both sides has been endless. As an important conditioning factor, politics is a major aspect of human life and it is only a matter of exigency that poetry should not take its eyes off politics.
This study, through the lens of Marxism, explores the dialectics of patriotism of the Nigerian electorates and their leaders in Osundare’s 'A Villagers' Protest' and Tanure Ojaide’s 'kings of Fools.' It also exemplifies the benignant judgement of glorification to a patriot of a nation. The study finds that for democracy and rules of law to thrive in Nigeria, patriotism should be reciprocated (rewarded), due process should be upheld and bad leadership should be adequately interrogated and rewarded in accordance with the law of the land.
Factors Influencing Entrepreneurial Success in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Case Study of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in Kenya
Authors: Geoffrey Andrew Otieno  
Published: November 2023

Micro, small and medium enterprises are crucial to Kenya's economy because they generate revenue, create jobs, distribute income, develop technological capabilities and disseminate resources. Despite these efforts, MSMEs continue to fail or stagnate. For the past five years, the performance of MSMEs has deteriorated. This study examined factors influencing entrepreneurial success in sub-Saharan Africa: a case study of MSMEs in Kenya. This study's objectives are to:

Assess the influence of financial literacy on the entrepreneurial success of MSMEs in Kenya,
Investigate the influence of entrepreneurial training on the entrepreneurial success of MSMEs in Kenya,
Evaluate the influence of financial access on the entrepreneurial success of MSMEs in Kenya,
Determine the influence of technology adoption on the entrepreneurial success of MSMEs in Kenya and
Investigate the combined influence of financial literacy, entrepreneurial training, financial access and technology adoption on the entrepreneurial success of MSMEs in Kenya.

This study was guided by the entrepreneurial competency theory and the resource-based theory. The study employed the pragmatism paradigm. A descriptive research design was utilized. The target population of the study was 1,502,907 MSMEs registered in Kenya. The study's sample size was 320. Data were gathered through mixed methods. SPSS was utilized to conduct correlation and regression analyses on the collected data. Descriptive analysis was performed to examine the characteristics of the data. Inferential statistics were also employed. Regression analysis was conducted to assess the combined impact of the variables. The qualitative data collected were carefully organized into themes for analysis. Findings showed that financial literacy, entrepreneurial training, financial access and technology adoption significantly affect the entrepreneurial success of MSMEs in Kenya. Training would enhance business owners understanding of business dynamics. Support in technology adoption would also aid in business success. The government should be pragmatic in support of the success of MSMEs. Business licensing, taxation, levies and regulations should be MSME-friendly. MSMEs require support in terms of capital injection, financial literacy, entrepreneurial training, financial access and technology adoption. A multisectoral approach to support MSMEs is proposed to enhance success.

Resource Mobilization and Successful Implementation of Virtual Weighing Station Project by Local Firms in Kenya
Authors: Emmy Rotich  , Dr. Samson Nyang'au  , Collins Simiyu Khisa  
Published: November 2023

Resource mobilization has gradually become relevant to all local firms of Kenya in the context of the global economic crisis, declining resource flows and greater demands for accountability. While it is recognized that there cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach and that different firms need to mobilize resources in different ways, there are some commonalities that pertain to all firms. Resources are the driving forces of organizations. Local firms need resources to effectively implement programs that improve the lives of their beneficiaries. However, local firms complain about not having enough resources to accomplish their goals since they often rely on singular funding streams from donors, which are provided over a limited time. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the influence of resource mobilization on local firms’ successful implementation of virtual weighing station projects in Kenya. The research was guided by the following specific objectives:

To assess the effects of Human Resource mobilization on the successful implementation of virtual weighing stations by local firms in Kenya.
To establish the effects of financial mobilization on the successful implantation of virtual weighing stations by local firms in Kenya.
To establish the effects of material mobilization on the successful implementation of virtual weighing stations by local firms in Kenya.
To investigate how the use of technology affects the successful implementation of virtual weighing stations by local firms in Kenya.

Theories such as resource mobilization theory, resource-based view theory and constraints theory were used for the development of this research. The research employed descriptive and explanatory research designs, given the small target population, which entailed officials from KeNHA (20), contractors’ staff (20) and project suppliers (10). Data were collected through the administration of interviews and questionnaires, while analysis was undertaken through the use of tools such as the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). From the data collected and analyzed, the study employed the use of descriptive statistics such as percentages, variances, means and standard deviations to analyze the data. The findings of the study indicated that human, financial, material and technology resource mobilization positively affects the successful implementation of virtual weighing stations in Kenya. From these findings, this research drew its conclusions on how resource mobilization influences the successful implementation of virtual weighing stations across the country by local firms.
