Abstract

The advancement of information technology has changed many aspects of human life. Technology has entered various spaces of human life, so technology and humans are an integral unit. In the modern economic sector, the market has transformed business digitalization. This is both a challenge and an opportunity for business people. For this reason, this study aims to analyze the space for innovation and technological adaptation of business actors in responding to advances in information technology. In addition, this research also intends to outline the relevance of developing digital sociology studies. A qualitative approach through field studies and literature review is the method of choice for this research. Operationally, the research was conducted through two stages, namely the context determination stage and the concept selection stage. These two processes are in line with the principle of inductive logic in qualitative research which prioritizes empirical narratives and then develops conceptual narratives. This is intended to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the facts and theories about technological innovation and adaptation in the business world. The results show that digital technology has become a major catalyst for improving operational efficiency, expanding market reach, and creating competitive differentiation. Therefore, digital technology adaptation is not just an option but has become a necessity in an increasingly digitally connected era. Digital technology adaptation is one of the keys to success in a world that is undergoing a massive transformation from real space to digital space.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the significant impact of cultural norms on sustainable entrepreneurship initiatives in the context of small and medium-sized firms in Bangladesh's dynamic business environment. Utilizing a rigorous research technique, this study conducts semi-structured interviews with a diverse sample of 40 small and medium-sized enterprise owners, executives, and important stakeholders. Following this, a rigorous thematic analysis is conducted, revealing significant themes and complex patterns present in the collected data. The findings reveal a detailed viewpoint, explaining that cultural norms, including factors such as tendencies towards risk avoidance, complex social networks, and the significant impact of family dynamics on business operations, have both positive and negative effects on sustainable entrepreneurship practices in small and medium-sized enterprises. Furthermore, the identified research highlights the utmost importance of governmental policies and regulatory frameworks as influential factors that shape the dimensions of sustainable entrepreneurship. Based on these findings, the research emphasizes the necessity of adopting a comprehensive and integrated strategy that effectively addresses and overcomes the deeply ingrained obstacles rooted in culture. This approach should also prioritize the establishment of a supportive environment, facilitated by well-informed governmental policies and carefully crafted regulations. The implications of these findings have significant resonance beyond the confines of Bangladesh, extending to other developing countries where cultural norms and government regulations can pose substantial obstacles to the achievement of sustainable entrepreneurship. Future research attempts may benefit from delving deeper into the complex relationship between cultural norms and sustainable entrepreneurship practices across various contextual settings.

Abstract

Malaria is a significant global health burden, particularly in regions with limited healthcare resources. Pharmaceutical interventions, specifically artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs), have long been the mainstay of malaria treatment due to their proven efficacy in eliminating Plasmodium parasites. Herbal medicine has also gained attention as a potential alternative or adjunctive therapy. Nevertheless, the emergence of drug-resistant strains, notably in Southeast Asia and Africa, poses a considerable challenge to the effectiveness of these pharmaceutical treatments. Using low-value alternating electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation as an anti-malaria treatment is a novel approach that requires further investigation to determine its therapeutic potential. This research studies the comparative analysis of the effect of pharmaceutical intervention, herbal medicine, and low-value alternating EMF as anti-malaria treatments. The research methodology involves a systematic literature review of relevant scientific databases, design, construction, and administration of 20mT & 30mT electromagnetic field, Lumartem and Thitonia Diversifolia (Jume 12) to plasmodium berghei-infected mice for four days consecutively at the same time interval. Results revealed that all treatments were significantly effective. Lumartem is maximally effective from the third day, while Tihonia Diversifolia was maximally effective on the second day. EMF 10mT was maximally effective on the third day, while EMF 20mT did not fully align with the non-infected mice trend, but it is likely to align if treatment continues. The results of this comparative study will contribute to the body of knowledge regarding the effectiveness of pharmaceutical, herbal medicine, and low-value alternating electromagnetic field treatments for malaria.

Abstract

Mainstream open innovation (openness) research has directly linked it to innovation performance, leaving intermediary processes such as innovation opportunity recognition (sensing capacity) not fully explained. This study examined the relationship between openness (inbound and coupled openness) and sensing capacity. The study surveyed a quota sample of 213 micro and small furniture industries (MSFIs) in Tanzania’s cities of Arusha, Mbeya, and Dar es-salaam and applied a close-ended questionnaire to collect data from owners (managers) of the micro and small furniture industries. Subsequently, the study used partial least square structural modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the data and found that inbound openness positively affects sensing capacity directly and indirectly through coupled openness. Coupled openness partially mediates the effect of inbound openness on sensing capacity. Also, coupled openness positively affects sensing capacity. Openness and dynamic capabilities views are complementary; small business managers embracing inbound and coupled openness enhance their sensing capacity.

Abstract

The main objective of the study was to determine the corporate governance challenges facing State-Owned Enterprises in Zimbabwe. In so doing the study sought to proffer solutions and prescriptions to the challenges. In this view, the study adopted a quantitative research approach in which the positivist philosophy was applied. A cross-sectional survey design was used in which data was gathered using a structured questionnaire. The target population consisted of top and middle management, board members, board chairpersons, and CEOs of SOEs found in  Zimbabwe. Using the sampling procedure developed by Krejcie and Morgan (1970), a sample size of 351 individuals was determined. The research employed stratified random sampling for sampling respondents.  SPSS version  23 was used to analyze quantitative data. The research established that Corporate governance challenges faced by SOEs in Zimbabwe include the bureaucratic nature of SOEs which causes inflexibility, political history of SOEs, poorly composed boards, inefficient and lack of transparency in the appointment of boards, limited board independence, and unstable economic conditions. The research recommends that authorities in the Office of the President and Cabinet from the Corporate Governance Unit or  State Enterprises Restructuring Agency should organize more corporate governance training for Boards and other custodians of corporate governance in State Owned Enterprises.

Abstract

OpenAI ChatGPT has become the most popular academic writing software due to the kind of responses it gives, being seen as a replacement for much of the daily mundane writing, from emails to even college-style essays. As generative software, ChatGPT has caught the attention of everyone from business and policy stakeholders, signaling a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence. Despite ChatGPT’s popularity and appeal in academic writing, there are fears regarding its consequences for human creativity and academic integrity. The study employed critical literature review analysis to explore the importance of ChatGPT in academic writing, its effects on human creativity and academic integrity, and suggestions for proper adoption and application. In the review process, it was revealed that ChatGPT is important in improving the learning and academic outcomes of diverse professionals and learners. However, the review suggests that the responses or outputs from ChatGPT sometimes are inaccurate and misleading. Therefore, implications for policy and practice were discussed.

Abstract

This study was conducted in the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Tetouan to detect the major difficulties that Moroccan students encounter in their learning of endocrinology and hormonal communication. To do this, we used semi-directive interviews to receive the opinions of these students in their learning of this subject. The final results of this survey have allowed us to identify the following difficulties according to the students: the inability to memorize the number of hormones, the complexity of the notions of endocrinology, the absence of material for practical work, the lack of supervised work sessions and the insufficiency of the time allocated to this subject. In conclusion, it turned out that the best way to help these students in their learning of endocrinology is to offer them a learning environment based on the diversified use of information and communication technologies. In other words, the well-thought-out use of tools such as digital animations could significantly increase the number of practical exercises to be performed.

Abstract

This paper provides a systematic review of the customer’s behavioral deliberations that govern their choice to participate in a crowd-logistics market. Little attention has been given to the crowd logistics platforms and small businesses. This paper presents the analysis of customers' crowd logistics adoption from a behavioral perspective. The study applied a systematic literature review method and examined previous literature on crowd logistics from Science Direct and Taylor and Francis. Systematic literature review involve the principles of transparency, rigor, and replicability, which bring significant benefits over traditional literature reviews through greater objectivity. The findings suggest that customers’ ability to use technology, safety considerations, desire to make social connections, trust, and convenience are the factors that influence people’s decisions to participate in the crowd-logistics market. The findings of this study are valuable for empirical research in a particular setting and strengthen the body of knowledge on the adoption or acceptance of the crowd-logistics concept.

Abstract

This research paper shows the beach segment-wise (viz., nearshore, surfing, sub-aerial, and backshore) textural characteristics and their impact on the formation of beach profiles. The grain size of the sediments is the most influential factor in the analysis of the geomorphological structure of sedimentation. The energy which is generated by waves and the grain size of sediments can change the structural pattern of the coastal beach. So it is obvious to study sedimentary textural distribution to know their influence on making coastal beaches. Through this research paper, the sedimentary textual distribution is analyzed and also gives their impact on beach shipping. Along longitudinal beach profile samples are collected. The work has been done based on the primary data source by using the field survey method. From this research work, it has been traced that beaches follow the concave pattern profile due to their fine sedimentary textural distribution. Consequently, the beaches of the Kanthi coast are dominantly facing the erosional configuration.

Abstract

Drying is an essential step in the manufacturing process of bamboo culms which enhances its quality. Even though in the case of Ethiopia, effective bamboo culm drying has not been practiced. This is due to limited information/technology regarding bamboo culm drying. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effective drying technologies and the effect of site and culm height on the drying characteristics of Oldeania alpina (O. alpina). For this study, matured 3-5 years old samples of O. alpina culms sectioned into three segments were collected from Hagere-Selam and Rebu-Gebeya, Ethiopia. The culms were stacked and dried using kiln and air-drying methods. The mean values of basic density in O. alpina collected from Hagere-Selam and Rebu-Gebeya sites were 0.65 and 0.63 gcm-3, respectively. The average initial moisture content (MC) of Hagere-Selam and Rebu-Gebeya culms were 91.78% and 80.32%, respectively. The Hagere-Selam culm kiln-dried within 6.5 days while air-dried within 75 days to attain the final MC for kiln (10.15%) and air-drying (14.13%). The Rebu-Gebeya culm kiln dried within 5.4 days while they required 61 days for air-drying to attain the final MC for the kiln (10.60%) and air-drying (13.01%). The MC and drying time needed for drying the culms were significantly affected by site, culm height, and drying method. Drying O. alpina culms using kiln and air-drying methods was successful without significant drying defects. Well-seasoned culms of Hagere-Selam and Rebu-Gebeya are recommended for wider utilization in Ethiopia including furniture, flooring, handcrafts, etc.
