Challenges in virtual team communication in the context of virtual exchange experience
Authors: Ala-Kortesmaa Sanna , Muñoz Candice 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
As technology has enabled people across the world to collaborate and create virtual communities, the ability to interact in computer-mediated, cross-cultural environments in a meaningful way has become a necessity. This is particularly true for younger adults who operate in virtual teams during their studies, for instance in virtual exchange projects, and later in their professional life. In this qualitative study, we examined the features and functionality of cross-cultural communication in virtual exchange teams. By analysing three datasets produced by Finnish university and American community college students (n=38) who participated in a virtual exchange, we examined what kinds of challenges emerge in the communication of virtual teams and how students use theories of computer-mediated communication when trying to make sense of those challenges. The results of the reflexive thematic analysis indicated that the challenges in communication of virtual teams stem from cultural and motivational differences. These challenges could be alleviated by increasing the shared work time allocated for social information sharing and for constructing appropriate, team-specific ways to express online social presence and propinquity. The findings highlight the meaningfulness and relationality of virtual team communication and provide insight into motivational factors and the sense of belonging when communication challenges arise.

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT
This research aimed to evaluate the potential effects of microbial fertilizer on the growth, yield and quality parameters and fertiliser savings of lettuce and cucumber. The study had control (C), microbial fertilisation (MF), chemical fertilisation (CF), chemical fertilisation + microbial fertilisation (CF + MF), 50% chemical fertilisation + microbial fertilisation (50% CF + MF) and dipping into microbial fertiliser + chemical fertilisation (D + CF) treatments. The highest head length, root collar diameter, soluble solids and leaf number of lettuce were obtained in D+CF. Maximum chlorophyll contents were obtained in CF, CF + MF and D + CF, all of which were higher than the C application. D + CF and CF + MF resulted in the highest total and marketable yields. In cucumber cultivation, although the highest fruit length was obtained in CF, CF + MF, 50% CF + MF and D + CF were only slightly less than CF. The highest fruit diameters were in CF + MF and 50% CF + MF. The chlorophyll contents were significantly more in 50% CF + MF and D + CF than in other applications. The highest first- and second-class yields were in 50% CF + MF and were significantly higher than those in C and CF. Average fruit weight was also higher in all MF applications. It counclud that the alone MF application is not important, so MF has to be used with organic or chemical fertilisers in lettuce and cucumber cultivation.

Abstract
The split sheet used at a recording studio is one of the essential means for any creative artist who understands its implementation benefits from the royalties that the creative work generates as it gets commercial merchandise. However, surprisingly, Ghanaian music producers and practitioners are yet to tap into the full potential of this avenue. This paper investigates the awareness and benefits of the split sheet among Ghanaian music producers and practitioners in the recording industry and the extent to which they have explored it. Using a mixed-methods mode of inquiry for data collection, we sampled music producers and practitioners (n = 218) in Ghana to briefly analyse the moneymaking through split sheets of songs available to music practitioners in Ghana’s recording industry. It was noted that 94.9% of respondents were unaware of the split sheet, while 92.7% did not know the benefit of the split sheet. However, only 4.6% of the respondents had used the split sheet. Subsequently, we conclude that the low awareness of the split sheet among Ghanaian music producers and practitioners compromises the decorum of the business side of creativity in the Ghanaian recording industry. Therefore, we recommend that more intensive education be undertaken to sensitise Ghanaian music producers and practitioners to the benefit of the split sheet in their daily work to enhance revenue generation.

Published: March 2023

Purpose: Given the importance of monitoring and managing land cover, especially in countries with continental proportions, such as Brazil. This research aimed to compare two remote sensing image classifier algorithms.

Method/design/approach: The article compared the Gaussian Mixture Model and Random Forest classification algorithms, using Landsat 8 image, which was classified in a supervised way, in the Dezetsaka plugin of QGIS. The analysis of the performance of each model was performed using the Kappa index and Total Accuracy.

Results and conclusion: The results showed that the Random Forest algorithm was more efficient than the Gaussian Mixture Model. Taking the Kappa Index (K) and Total Accuracy (po), the models obtained the following performances in the classification of classes: the Random Forest Model (K= 0.94 and po= 96.31) and the Gaussian Mixture Model obtained (K=0.85 and po=90.60).

Research implications: The results can support the choice of classification method by researchers and others interested in monitoring land cover.

Originality/value: This is a unique proposal, which compares an algorithm based on Machine Learning with another one from the category of probabilistic models. Interesting, since machine learning techniques have been gaining notoriety in several contexts.
Diagnosis of the Sustainability of a Poultry Value Chain From the Perspective of Environmental Management Accounting

Published: March 2023

Purpose: This paper aims to present the diagnosis of the sustainability of a poultry value chain from the perspective of Environmental Management Accounting.

Theoretical framework: The main theoretical basis for the development of the research was the perspective of the Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) system that contributes to the generation of value. This chain will be studied under EMA and thus overcome the barrier for the implementation of an EMA system. When the organization succeeds in implementing it and making it an integral part of the environmental strategy, the EMA provides an efficient approach to environmental, managerial and financial information.

Method/design/approach: The methodology used was the case study, the investigation, of an exploratory and quali-quantitative nature. Descriptive and quantitative information about environmental heritage was analysed, such as forest diagnosis, waste generation, water resources, energy and emissions, environmental management and accounting in the various links of the poultry production chain in the state of Goiás.

Results and conclusion: The results demonstrate the vertical business strategy and the adoption of a circular business model by the poultry chain. It was possible to confirm that Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) makes it possible to map processes, identify physical and financial aspects, establish ecological control mechanisms, and highlight actions, policies and sustainability programs at the production chain level. It is concluded that to diagnose information of a descriptive and quantitative nature, from the EMA perspective, the level of planning of the integrating company and integrated farms must be considered, which directly impacts the monitoring and continuous evaluation of processes. When applied, the EMA contributes to the knowledge of the performance of the chain.

Research implications: The contribution of this study is based on two pillars: i) the methodology applied with data collection from primary sources; and, ii) access to data, which allowed results, until then, not observed in the literature.

Originality/value: The contribution of the study lies in the fact that it is a study applied to the production chain, with access to primary and unpublished data, which advances the development and applicability of science in the area and/or practices of socio-environmental management of organizations.

Published: March 2023

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between consumer engagement with the Beta brand and the purchase intention of ecological products sold by the company.

Theoretical framework: It builds on the literature on consumer engagement and behavior and green or ecological products

Method/design/approach: In this study, the research was characterized as quantitative, descriptive and explanatory, with data collected through a survey. The study population was made up of consumers and potential consumers of Beta Cosmetics, a company that operates in the beauty market, offering sustainable solid products. A sample composed of consumers who agreed to participate in the survey was used, totaling 107 respondents.

Results and conclusion: The results indicate that conscious participation positively affects the purchase intention of these products, and that consumers who regularly buy the products are more engaged, enthusiastic and conscious, and perceive greater value in the products. Meanwhile, consumers who rarely buy the products have high purchase intention, but are more sensitive to the price, as these products are more expensive than traditional products on the market.

Research Implications: This study has an impact on practical implications in the practice of ecological products, as it emphasizes that engagement and awareness may not lead to sales. Although consumers perceive value in ecological products, the high price plays an important role in preventing the realization of purchase intentions.

Originality/value: The paper provides evidence of the determinants of ecological products purchase intentions. It also shows that developing ideas that will educate, attract and engage consumers might strengthen their purchase intention, specially if combined with a competitive price.

The humane treatment of laboratory animals is an integral part of good laboratory practice. It remains relevant to study the anaesthetic effects of various medicinal products helping to reduce pain and distress in laboratory animals.The aim of the study was to compare the effects of the α2 blockers proroxan and atipamezole on changes in electroencephalogram rhythm index ratios after dexmedetomidine administration.Materials and methods. The study used male Soviet chinchilla rabbits weighing 3.0±0.3 kg (n=12). Study animals received single injections of 100 μg/kg dexmedetomidine subcutaneously, 50 μg/kg atipamezole intramuscularly, and 170 μg/kg proroxan intravenously (equimolar to the dose of dexmedetomidine). The effects of these medicinal products were evaluated by pharmacoelectroencephalography. The authors recorded electroencephalograms using cup electrodes and a Neuron-Spectrum-1 8-channel encephalograph (Neurosoft, Russia) with a bandwidth of 0.5–35 Hz and a sampling frequency of 500 Hz. The distribution of quantitative characteristics was checked for normality using the Shapiro–Wilk W test. The authors used one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test to evaluate the significance of differences for the normal distribution of quantitative characteristics; they used the nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn’s post hoc test for the non-normal one.Results. Dexmedetomidine administration resulted in significant two-hour changes in the rabbit brain, and the authors observed an increase in the delta rhythm and a decrease in the theta rhythm. At equimolar doses, atipamezole returned the ratios of the wave rhythm indices to the baseline values, whereas proroxan had no effect on the ratios.Conclusions. As demonstrated by the neutralisation of dexmedetomidine sedative and hypnotic effects, atipamezole can be used in veterinary for recovery from anaesthesia. Proroxan, on the contrary, is not effective in reversing the sedative effect of dexmedetomidine.
Fuzzy Semi-Parametric Logistic Quantile Regression Model
Authors: Razzaq Ahmed , H. shemaila Ayad 
Published: March 2023

In this paper, the fuzzy semi-parametric logistic quantile regression model was studied in the absence of special conditions in the classical regression models. This model becomes more flexible to deal with data for outlier's values and in the absence of a linear regression condition when the data of the dependent variable are restricted and fuzzy data and some of the variables are nonparametric, and the dependent variable in this model represents the fuzzy triangular number.
The estimation of the semi-parametric logistic quantile regression model has been applied to simulated data when the sample size is (25, 50, 75, 100) and with a repetition of 1000. Where the model is estimated in two steps, the first step is to estimate the parametric part, and the second step is to estimate the non-parametric part by the Nadaraya-Watson estimator through different kernel functions. Depending on the mean squares error and the measure of goodness of fit, the results indicated the best estimate of a model with the Kernel-Cassian function when the quantile of the fuzzy conditional distribution equals 0.2 for all sample sizes .

The initial objectives addressed three main issues: analysis of risks of digital exclusion of people with mild intellectual disabilities in highly technological developed societies; a conceptual view of learning technologies as tools to support social inclusion; and the importance of creating accessible e-learning environments to support inclusive e-education for people with mild intellectual disabilities. The authors used the analytical and descriptive method on the basis of the chosen literature sources to draw the conceptual view of functions of learning technologies in network society. The paper is structured as follows: introduction; analysis of theoretical background of network society to understand the need to go beyond technology to understand contemporary digital disparities; the overview of learning technologies for inclusive e-education for individuals at risk of digital exclusion, the research conclusions and directions for future research.
The Master of Surprise
Authors: Belodubrovskaya Maria 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This article challenges the moniker “the master of suspense” as applied to Alfred Hitchcock. I show that Hitchcock's guiding principle was often not suspense but surprise. The penchant to surprise explains why Hitchcock utilized the surprise plot, as well as why he is often considered a deeply conflicted artist. In addition to standard surprise and suspense, which generate little uncertainty for the audience, Hitchcock developed parallel versions of these structures that incorporated premise uncertainty and allowed telling two stories at once. Double plots, which I term overt, structure some of Hitchcock's most sophisticated works, such as Notorious and Suspicion. The distinction between standard and overt surprise and suspense helps us better understand both Hitchcock's mastery and his enduring relevance for all narrative media today.
