Authors: Alnaim Maher Mohammad Ahmad , Sulong Farizah , Salleh Zalailah , Alsheikh Ghaith Abdulraheem Ali 
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine examine corporate environmental performance (CEP) as a mediator between eco-efficiency strategy and financial performance.

Theoretical framework: The application of the corporate environmental performance item is weak since it is not documented at that time, and there are also financial and eco-efficiency plan weaknesses. Also, the goal of the present study is to advance, add to the body of literature, and fill in any gaps.

Design/methodology/approach: The study employed a survey-based cross-sectional study that included industrial, service, and real estate firms registered under the Amman Stock Exchange. A total of 230 questionnaires were distributed to the managers in health and safety, finance, and operational firms. Ultimately, 209 (90.8%) of the questionnaires were included for further analysis.

Findings: The results revealed that efficiency strategy and CEP significantly influenced corporate financial performance, whereas efficiency strategy significantly influenced CEP. Moreover, CEP mediated the relationship between efficiency strategy and corporate financial performance. Nonetheless, the study was limited to eco-efficiency strategy.

Research, Practical & Social implications: The study of Jordanian industry, service, and real estate companies' Eco-Efficiency Strategy scores includes their environmental performance, which may be utilized to determine the primary influence factor on their financial success. This study offers insightful information for policymakers.

Originality/value: The study's significance is that, in order to increase the financial success of these businesses, governments must pay more attention to the environment and the factors that influence it.

Authors: Aidi Iman Saeed , Ali Zahraa Nasser , Flayyih Hakeem Hammood 
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The study aims to investigate the extent to which material and non-material requirements are available in applying budgeting programs and performance in Iraqi governmental companies that are not aimed at achieving profits. whose activities are limited to providing services of public interest. This is done by studying the extent to which the requirements of each stage of preparing the programs and performance budget can be met.

Theoretical framework: The process of evaluating financial performance is the main objective of all economic units, whether they are governmental or private economic units. Budgets contribute to the evaluation process by analyzing deviations in the application. The study includes an analytical presentation of the importance of balancing programs and performance through criticisms directed at the traditional budget, known as item balancing.

Design/methodology/approach: The idea of reforming the Iraqi budget was born in the government as a result of the catastrophic failure of many government projects. After the decline in oil prices, which is the main source of financing public spending. Not to mention the war on ISIS, which made the budget sag with public spending. The study was conducted by relying on the questionnaire form. Which was distributed to a number of auditors, numbering 120 people. The study (Ho, 2018) was relied upon in conducting the applied study.

Findings: The results of the survey indicate the weakness of the possibility of applying the program budget in all its six basic stages, as it mainly requires amending the accounting system. This amendment also includes the use of cost accounting as a main element on which this budget is based in order to determine the goal of each program.

Research, Practical & Social implications: The traditional budget focuses on what is inevitably spent without focusing on how to manage resources under specific programmes. As a result, these effects have been reflected on many development projects, the completion of which is often delayed. Program and performance budget focuses on the program as a whole, and each program is evaluated according to what was implemented during the year.

Originality/value: This study is the first of its kind, which focused on the requirements of applying budget performance in Iraqi government-affiliated companies. With the aim of determining the adoption requirements in a way that can contribute to making recommendations towards the process of adopting this type of budget.

Published: July 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine how corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices can influence the corporate performances of listed firms in the industrial goods producing sector of Nigeria and other developing countries.

Theoretical Framework: The enhancement of corporate value by CSR practices has become an interesting area of study for corporate managers and policy makers globally. The Stakeholder and Business Ethics theories have been used for this study. However, we anchor this research on the stakeholder theory which Edward Freeman propounded in 1984 and use it to evaluate the influence of CSR on corporate value.

Design/methodology/approach: The study uses the causal comparative research design and we purposively select a sample of four industrial goods firms from Nigeria’s listed manufacturing enterprises as at 31st December, 2021 based on their social responsibility relationships with the society, employees and creditors. We collect 19 years secondary data from the website of the Nigerian Exchange Group and yearly financial reports of the industrial goods producing enterprises. These data have been analysed using the ordinary least squares panel data regression, fixed and random effects models, stationarity test, cross-section dependence test the Hausman test.

Findings: The results show that corporate giving, employee welfare package and creditor days have significant positive effects on return on assets (a proxy of corporate performance) suggesting that the threat to profit-maximization is not caused by CSR but by illegitimate use of CSR by rent-seeking corporate managers.

Research, Practical & Social implications: The study helps in filling the gap in literature and serves as basis for the economic and social development of Nigeria, developed and other developing countries through a more legitimate CSR investments in corporate giving, employee welfare package and creditor settlement days.

Originality/value: The value of the study is that evidence of CSR success in the industrial goods manufacturing sector has for the first time been established using a time scope of 19 years and a firm-year-observations of 228. This study supports the claim that CSR is not a threat to profit maximization since it has a strong relationship with corporate value.

Authors: Almanaseer Sufian Radwan 
Published: July 2023

Purpose: This research aims to determine the correlation between financial integration and financial stability and whether increasing financial integration leads to increased financial stability.

Theoretical framework: The study investigates the effect of growing financial integrity on financial stability and the causal association between the two variables.

Design/methodology/approach: The study uses an Autoregressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL) regression model with the help of least squares (OLS) regression to evaluate the relationship between financial integration and stability. This research work further employed a Panel Smooth Transition Model (PSTR) to determine the nonlinearity among two factors and investigated the entrance stage of financial boosting beyond which Total Factor Productivity (TFP) extension is possibly dampened.

Findings: The results came forward with a positive impact of financial integrity on financial stability across many countries. Findings indicated that economic and financial integration is the primary channel to mediate the effect of monetary extremity in economies. Fiscal policy should seek measures to reduce the risk of crisis transfer and increase the benefits of financial integration to achieve financial stability.

Research, Practical & Social implications: The study recommends considering financial integration for economic development and avoiding the occurrence of risk by considering a fiscal policy.

Originality/value: The results highlight the sectors where financial integration is required. Moreover, establishment of subsidiary international bank in the resident economy with the local financial centre’s loans has been emphasized.

Authors: Magnuson Diana L. , Thomas Wendy L. 
Published: July 2023

The Institute for Social Research and Data Innovation (ISRDI) at the University of Minnesota submitted an application for approval to the Core Trust Seal (CTS) in June 2022. In the course of the protracted process to prepare ISRDI materials for the application, we learned five lessons that expanded our perspective on the role of the archive within our organization and committed our institute to building a sustainable metadata culture. By taking the time to review the specialized nature of ISRDI as it developed over time, clarify and document the processes that developed as the intitute matured and expanded, and applying the standards and guidelines supported by the CTS, ISDRI is now in a position to more easily identify areas of future process development and address outstanding needs in terms of our documentation and preservation of our work. These lessons are applicable to research organizations that include the responsibility to preserve a record of their work in the mid- and long-term.

Learning media is an important factor in the learning process. By using the right learning media, someone can easily understand what is being studied. Currently, augmented reality is a technology that is being developed in various fields, one of which is in the field of education. Augmented reality can be an alternative to effective and interactive learning media because augmented reality can combine 2D or 3D objects into a real environment. To learn about the internet of things devices, currently, students can only learn through books or do the hands-on practice. If an error occurs during practice, it can cause damage to the internet of things device. By utilizing augmented reality technology, a new learning media is created by combining 3D objects from internet of things devices into the real environment.
This learning media application was tested using the Blackbox and Mean Opinion Score methods. Blackbox testing shows that all functions have been running properly by the functional requirements that have been defined. Testing using the Mean Opinion Score shows that the average student respondent's assessment of the application is stated to strongly agree as much as 60.3% and agree as much as 35.3%.
Exploring the Impact of Low Light Intensity on DNA Methylation in Agave angustifolia Haw. Albino Variant
Authors: Duarte-Aké Fátima , De-la-Peña Clelia 
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Light is an essential environmental factor that regulates important plant processes, including photosynthesis, photoprotection, and the accumulation of pigments such as chlorophylls and carotenoids. Conversely, the absence of light initiates the etiolation phenomenon, characterized by a decrease in photosynthetic and photoprotective pigments. In contrast, albinism is a rare variant characterized by the absence of chloroplasts, chlorophyll, and other pigments, even in the presence of light. Albinism may occur spontaneously in plant tissue culture (PTC) and is considered an unexplored phenotypic variant. During micropropagation of Agave angustifolia Haw., two somaclonal variants emerged from green plantlets: albino and variegated. We demonstrate that low-intensity light exposure triggers greener pigmentation in albino plantlets accompanied by an increase in global DNA methylation levels. Our findings suggest the possibility of chloroplast biogenesis under low-intensity light and provide insight into the potential role of DNA methylation in regulating plant responses to light intensity and highlight the importance of studying the effects of different light conditions on plant development and physiology.

Resumen. La luz es un factor ambiental esencial que regula importantes procesos de las plantas, incluyendo la fotosíntesis, la fotoprotección y la acumulación de pigmentos como las clorofilas y los carotenoides. Por el contrario, la ausencia de luz inicia el fenómeno de etiolación, caracterizado por una disminución de los pigmentos fotosintéticos y fotoprotectores. En contraste, el albinismo es una rara variante caracterizada por la ausencia de cloroplastos, clorofila y otros pigmentos, incluso en presencia de luz. El albinismo puede ocurrir espontáneamente en el cultivo de tejidos vegetales (PTC) y se considera una variante fenotípica inexplorada. Durante la micropropagación de Agave angustifolia Haw. surgieron dos variantes somaclonales a partir de las plántulas verdes: albino y variegado. Demostramos que la exposición a la luz de baja intensidad desencadena una pigmentación verde en las plántulas albinas acompañada de un aumento en los niveles globales de metilación del ADN. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren la posibilidad de la biogénesis de cloroplastos bajo luz de baja intensidad y proporcionan información sobre el posible papel de la metilación del ADN en la regulación de las respuestas de las plantas a la intensidad de la luz, destacando la importancia de estudiar los efectos de diferentes condiciones de luz en el desarrollo y la fisiología de las plantas.

Abstract. Betalains are natural pigments responsible for the colour of flowers, bracts, stems, and leaves of genus Amaranthus, and they are bioactive compounds. Due to their great chemical diversity, the determination and confident identification of betalains are still challenges and of great interest as they are natural colourants for health benefit. By high-performance liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (MS), the catalog of betalains in red amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) was defined. In total, 30 betacyanins and 13 betaxanthins were found. Mass measurements for the parent ion and for its fragments with errors of less than 5 parts per million (ppm) achieved the recommended criteria for identification of compounds. This work defines the main betalains in red amaranth (A. cruentus) and valorizes the leaves and inflorescence of red amaranth as betalain pigments sources.

Resumen. Las betalaínas son pigmentos naturales responsables del color en las flores, brácteas, tallos y hojas del género Amaranthus y también son compuestos bioactivos. Debido a su amplia diversidad química, la identificación y determinación confiable de betalaínas siguen siendo desafíos y son de gran interés puesto que son colorantes naturales beneficiosos para la salud. Por medio de cromatografía de líquidos de alta eficiencia acoplada a espectrometría de masas en tándem se definió el catálogo de betalaínas en “amaranto rojo” (Amaranthus cruentus L.). En total se encontraron 30 betacianinas y 13 betaxantinas. Las mediciones de las masas del ion molecular y sus fragmentos con errores menores a 5 partes por millón (ppm) garantizaron los criterios recomendados para la identificación de compuestos. Este trabajo define las principales betalaínas del amaranto rojo (A. cruentus) y valora las hojas e inflorescencias del amaranto rojo como fuente de pigmentos betalaínicos.

Abstract. Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the major source of adipocytes, adipogenesis is a highly complex process whose mechanisms driving adipocyte origin and development remain poorly understood. Previous findings by our group have shown that different MSCs from the oral cavity displayed differential expression of TET2, a key regulator of DNA methylation, during adipogenic induction. Therefore, we proposed to evaluate the effects of the overexpression of TET2 on the adipogenic response of a cell line with a low natural commitment to this cell fate. We used human dental pulp cells, which were characterized through flow cytometry for mesenchymal markers, analysis of stemness-related genes (OCT4, NANOG, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC) and trilineage capacity. The characterized cells were transfected with TET2 and induced to adipogenesis for 21 days. Our results show that TET2-overexpressing cells (pTET2-OE cells) exhibit an earlier adipogenic response. In addition, pTET2-OE cells induced more than 4-, 2.5-, 30-, and 50-fold expression of the adipogenic markers PPARg, ADIPOQ, FABP4, and LPL, respectively. Our findings suggest that TET2 overexpression could induce demethylation of the PPARg locus, the master regulator of adipogenesis, and of the other adipogenic genes, improving the transition of dental pulp stem cells toward adipogenic commitment.

Resumen. Aunque las células troncales mesenquimales (MSC) son la principal fuente de adipocitos, la adipogénesis es un proceso complejo cuyos mecanismos que impulsan el origen y desarrollo de los adipocitos permanecen sin conocerse completamente. Previamente nuestro grupo ha demostrado que diferentes MSC de origen bucal mostraron una expresión diferencial de TET2, un regulador clave de la metilación del ADN, durante la inducción adipogénica. Por lo tanto, se propuso evaluar el efecto de la sobreexpresión de TET2 en la respuesta adipogénica en una línea celular con bajo compromiso hacia la diferenciación adipogénica. Nosotros usamos células de la pulpa dental las cuales fueron caracterizadas mediante citometría de flujo para marcadores mesenquimales, análisis de genes de pluripotencia (OCT4, NANOG, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC) y capacidad tri-linaje. Las células caracterizadas fueron transfectadas con TET2 e inducidas a la adipogénesis por 21 días. Nuestros hallazgos demuestran que las células que sobre expresan TET2 (pTET-OE) muestran una respuesta adipogénica más temprana. Además, las células pTET-OE incrementaron más de 4-, 2.5-, 30-, y 50 veces la expresión de los marcadores adipogénicos PPARg, ADIPOQ, FABP4 y LPL respectivamente. Nuestros resultados sugieren que la sobreexpresión de TET2 podría inducir la desmetilación del locus de PPARg, el regulador maestro de la adipogénesis y de los genes adipogénicos, lo que mejora la transición de las células troncales de la pulpa dental hacia el compromiso adipogénico.

This community service program aims to support food availability in the Mahu Administrative Country. Food security is the availability of food and one's ability to access it. A household is said to have food security if the occupants are not in a state of hunger or are haunted by the threat of hunger. The main objective of naming vegetables is to get food products by using the previous plant resources. The method used in this service is to plant vegetables directly on the land next to the village office. The choice of this program is because it is a collaboration with the state government's program to support domestic food availability. Based on this, this program is dedicated to food security by planting vegetables. The dedication of this program has the involvement of the AMGPM Randing Mahu community. From the results of the dedication carried out, it is hoped that this program can be carried out continuously so that the community is able to manage their own garden
