THE FACTORS THAT HAVE INFLUENCED THE ADOPTION OF MALAYSIAN PRIVATE ENTITIES REPORTING STANDARDS (MPERS) FOR SMEs IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Kapizionis Emmanuel G. , Day Stephen 
Published: October 2023

<p>This study aims to explore the factors that have influenced the adoption of Malaysian Private Entities Reporting Standards (MPERS) in Malaysia since 2016, to explore the costs and benefits to Malaysian SMEs of adopting the MPERS, and also to explore challenges and expectations exploring the perception of 15 accounting professionals representing SMEs in Malaysia. Findings indicate that education and professional training are influential factors in the way participants perceive the MPERS but tensions between education and training did come to the fore in the interviews. Legal and tax factors are also influential. However, participants did not discuss the role of tax or legal factors relating to the implementation of the standard in any depth. Further, findings also indicate that cultural factors play a significant role equal to external economic factors, which heavily influenced the Malaysian standard setter to adopt MPERS. Participants suggested that the initial (short-term) costs for the adoption of the standard outweigh the benefits, but that over the long term, the benefits outweighed the costs of the adoption of the MPERS. The findings also suggest that adoption increased the reliability of financial information to users while adoption of the MPERS provides confidence to foreign investors by providing a comparable accounting framework with other countries, which was seen by participants as one of the most prominent macro effects. This thesis is the first to explore factors that drove the Malaysian authorities to adopt the MPERS and contribute to the existing body of accounting literature. We argue that this study’s findings might be used as a solid basis for other similar contexts in Southeast Asia with similar cultural characteristics to Malaysia.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>JEL</strong>: M10, M14, M20, M40, M41</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0011/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
IMPACT OF CATHOLIC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM ON HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN RELIGIOUS WOMEN’S CONGREGATIONS IN THE NORTHERN ZONE OF TANZANIA
Authors: Mushi Bernadetha P. 
Published: October 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the implementation of the Catholic Scholarship Program for Tanzania (CSPT) on human capital development within religious Catholic Women's Congregations in Northern Tanzania. The study was guided by the question: to what extent does the implementation of CSPT enhance human capital development within religious women’s congregations? The study was anchored on: Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) Model. This study applied Convergent design under the mixed methods. The general target population for the study was 142 respondents from CSPT in the Northern Zone of Tanzania. However, this particular study comprised of: 122 religious women, 16 superiors of different congregations, 3 board of directors, and 1 executive secretary of the programme. The study sample comprised 84 respondents from whom 80 are religious women, 2 are superiors of congregations, 1 is from the board of directors, and 1 is the executive secretary of the programme. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to obtain samples for this study. Data was collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The validity and reliability of the evaluation instruments were ensured, and the instruments were pilot-tested. Quantitative data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, and means. Qualitative data on the other hand was examined through the transcription of texts, generating themes for interpretation, discussions, and arriving at conclusions. The study established that the implementation of the Catholic Scholarship Program to a great extent enhanced human capital development within religious women's congregations in the Northern Zone of Tanzania. The study concludes that CSPT is a valuable programme for religious women congregations in terms of human capital development. The study recommended that the management of CSPT should frequently monitor the participating congregations. The monitoring ensures that the beneficiaries positively enhance the development of the human capital of the congregations as envisaged by the CSPT.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0011/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
SCHOOL LEADERSHIP MODELS IN GREECE: PRACTICES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL LEADERS / ΜΟΝΤΕΛΑ ΣΧΟΛΙΚΗΣ ΗΓΕΣΙΑΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΕΛΛΑΔΑ: ΠΡΑΚΤΙΚΕΣ ΔΙΕΥΘΥΝΤΩΝ/ΤΡΙΩΝ ΔΗΜΟΤΙΚΗΣ ΕΚΠΑΙΔΕΥΣΗΣ

Published: October 2023

<p>One of the most critical factors associated with school effectiveness is school leadership. The purpose of our research was to study the practices of primary school principals regarding school leadership from the perspective of managerial, transformational, and instructional leadership models. The sample of the study consisted of 12 primary school principals who worked in Thessaloniki (Greece). A semi-structured interview was used as a data collection tool. Data were studied and categorized based on the method of hybrid thematic analysis. The results of the study showed that managerial model is dominant. Principals, though, developed the tendency to adopt modern models of leadership as well, the “narrow” version of instructional leadership model and the two of the four dimensions of transformational leadership model, Idealized influence and Ιndividual consideration. The conclusion is that although principals had adopted some aspects of modern leadership models, it is necessary for them to acquire knowledge and skills for the other dimensions also and to act accordingly. The Ministry of Education should design and implement training programs for principals, after conducting an investigation of training needs, in order to acquire more knowledge and skills concerning leadership and management so they can be more effective.</p><p>Ένας από τους πιο σημαντικούς παράγοντες που συνδέονται με τη σχολική αποτελεσματικότητα είναι η σχολική ηγεσία. Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν να μελετήσει τις πρακτικές διευθυντών/ντριων δημοτικής εκπαίδευσης σχετικά με τη σχολική ηγεσία υπό το πρίσμα των μοντέλων της διοικητικής, μετασχηματιστικής και καθοδηγητικής ηγεσίας. Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτέλεσαν 12 διευθυντές/ντριες δημοτικών σχολείων της Θεσσαλονίκης. Ως ερευνητικό εργαλείο αξιοποιήθηκε η ημι-δομημένη συνέντευξη και ως ερευνητική τεχνική η υβριδική θεματική ανάλυση. Από τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας προέκυψε πως το διοικητικό μοντέλο είναι κυρίαρχο στις πρακτικές των διευθυντών/ντριών, οι οποίες συνδέονται επίσης με τη «στενή» εκδοχή του καθοδηγητικού μοντέλου και τις δύο από τις τέσσερις διαστάσεις της μετασχηματιστικής ηγεσίας, την εξιδανικευμένη επιρροή και το εξατομικευμένο ενδιαφέρον. Ως συμπέρασμα προέκυψε η ανάγκη υλοποίησης επιμορφωτικών προγραμμάτων για διευθυντές/ντριες, μετά από διερεύνηση αναγκών, υπό την αιγίδα κρατικών φορέων της εκπαίδευσης, ώστε να αποκτήσουν γνώσεις και δεξιότητες και για τις υπόλοιπες διαστάσεις των σύγχρονων μοντέλων ηγεσίας και να ανταποκριθούν στις απαιτήσεις της θέσης ευθύνης που υπηρετούν. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0011/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Surface energy balance fluxes in a suburban area of Beijing: energy partitioning variability
Authors: Dou Junxia , Grimmond Sue , Miao Shiguang , Huang Bei , Lei Huimin , Liao Mingshui 
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Measurements of radiative and turbulent heat fluxes for 16 months in suburban Miyun with a mix of buildings and agriculture allows the changing role of these fluxes to be assessed. Daytime turbulent latent heat fluxes (QE) are largest in summer and smaller in winter, consistent with the net all-wave radiation (Q*), whereas the daytime sensible heat flux (QH) is greatest in spring but smallest in summer rather than in winter, as commonly observed in suburban areas. The results have larger seasonal variability in energy partitioning compared to previous suburban studies. Daytime energy partitioning is between 0.15–0.57 for QH/Q* (mean summer = 0.16; winter = 0.46), 0.06–0.56 for QE/Q* (mean summer = 0.52; winter = 0.10), and 0.26–7.40 for QH/QE (mean summer = 0.32; winter = 4.60). Compared to the literature for suburban areas, these are amongst the lowest and highest values. Results indicate that precipitation, irrigation, vegetation growth activity, and land use and land cover all play critical roles in the energy partitioning. These results will help to enhance our understanding of surface–atmosphere energy exchanges over cities and are critical to improving and evaluating urban canopy models needed to support integrated urban services that include urban planning to mitigate the adverse effects of urban climate change.
Stirring across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current's southern boundary at the prime meridian, Weddell Sea

Published: October 2023

Abstract. At the southern boundary of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), relatively warm ACC waters encounter the colder waters surrounding Antarctica. Strong density gradients across the southern boundary indicate the presence of a frontal jet and are thought to modulate the southward heat transport across the front. In this study, the southern boundary in the Weddell Sea sector at the prime meridian is surveyed for the first time in high resolution over 2 months during an austral summer with underwater gliders occupying a transect across the front on five occasions. The five transects show that the frontal structure (i.e. hydrography, velocities and lateral density gradients) varies temporally. The results demonstrate significant, transient (a few weeks) variability of the southern boundary and its frontal jet in location, strength and width. A mesoscale cold-core eddy is identified to disrupt the southern boundary’s frontal structure and strengthen lateral density gradients across the front. The front's barrier properties are assessed using mixing length scales and potential vorticity to establish the cross-frontal exchange of properties between the ACC and the Weddell Gyre. The results show that stronger lateral density gradients caused by the mesoscale eddy strengthen the barrier-like properties of the front through reduced mixing length scales and pronounced gradients of potential vorticity. In contrast, the barrier-like properties of the southern boundary are reduced when no mesoscale eddy is influencing the density gradients across the front. Using satellite altimetry, we further demonstrate that the barrier properties over the past decade have strengthened as a result of increased meridional gradients of absolute dynamic topography and increased frontal jet speeds in comparison to previous decades. Our results emphasise that locally and rapidly changing barrier properties of the southern boundary are important to quantify the cross-frontal exchange, which is particularly relevant in regions where the southern boundary is located near the Antarctic shelf break (e.g. in the West Antarctic sector).
Epitaphs to Empire: On Abe Kōbō and the (Un)Making of the Repatriation Narrative
Authors: Yi Christina 
Published: October 2023

This article considers some of the dynamics of movement and non-movement in the context of East Asia through an examination of the repatriation narrative. By “repatriation narrative,” I refer to a postwar Japanese form of testimonial interlocution which features a first-person returnee narrator/author who explicitly or implicitly addresses a national audience that does not share the experience of repatriation; and which temporalizes repatriation as a memory reconstructed in the present, marked on one end by the end of the war and on the other by the returnee’s “homecoming” to Japan. This article considers the discursive limits of the repatriation narrative by reading Abe Kōbō’s 1948 debut work Owarishi michi no shirube ni (The Signpost at the End of the Road) and 1957 novella Kemonotachi wa kokyō o mezasu (The Beasts Head for Home) in relation to Fujiwara Tei’s 1949 paradigmatic repatriation narrative Nagareru hoshi wa nagarete iru (The Shooting Stars are Alive), focusing in particular on the various literary and geopolitical displacements in all three texts. In reading Abe's works against the larger discursive history of the repatriation narrative, I aim to show how both texts evince a preoccupation with narrative form that is itself a critique.
MATHEMATICAL AND COMPUTER MODELS OF SCIENTIFIC NOTIONS

Published: October 2023

Supra, the authors proposed independent computer interactive presentation of notions (without using other languages). In this method, feedback confirms mastering of the notion. Such presentation may be “with avatar” or “without avatar”. They developed mathematical and computer models for some verbs, nouns and adjectives, proposed new classification of verbs and new “grammar” for notions. They with coauthors implemented some notions of Kyrgyz and English on computer. In the paper mathematical models for some notions in various sciences are described. It can be used for further development of such computer presentations and learning languages.

From Kings to Dukes: Brittany between the 5th and the 12th Century
Authors: Kernevez Patrick 
Published: October 2023

Brittany owes its name to the Brythonic immigrants who moved from insular Britain to north-western Gaul, then known as Armorica, between the 4th and the 7th centuries. The north and west of the Breton peninsula were colonised by these settlers from across the Channel, while the eastern part of modern Brittany, the area around Rennes and Nantes came under the control of the Franks. By the end of the 5th century, the latter had taken over control of the whole of ancient Gaul, apart from the tip of ancient Armorica where the Bretons resisted the Frankish kings’ domination for some time.
Brittany even witnessed the emergence of a royal lineage recognised in due course by the Franks in 851, but the new Breton kingdom was soon weakened by the Viking raids and internal fighting. This weakening of the central Breton power in the 10th century effectively benefited the aristocracy which wielded power at a local level. In the 11th and 12th centuries, counts, viscounts and castellans would gain power under the relative authority of a prince: the Duke of Brittany. At that time, Brittany was a principality with little effective power for two centuries, until the prince’s power was reinforced by the Plantagenets during the second half of the 12th century. Lying in the westernmost part of France, on the fringes of the Kingdom of the Franks, Brittany had a distinct and peculiar history, shaped by dual Brythonic and Frankish influences.
